So I guess the maker of StazOn knows that its permanent ink can be difficult to remove, because of all of the brands of ink that they make, it's the only one that has its own specific remover. While normally, I'm happy to stamp off my stamps to clean them ("stamp off" meaning to repeatedly stamp on scrap paper until the ink stops transferring), for StazOn ink, reinking the stamp causes the ink to revive and discolour the print. In the case of the Opaque StazOn (as shown on the stamp in the video), it causes the next colour to bead up and not print properly.
Well, it's a pretty easy fix: the StazOn all purpose cleaner gets the reside off quite nicely and really does do a great job of cleaning up a hand-carved stamp.
I'm looking forward to making another Carve Along (CAL) video soon - so stay tuned!
