i use blotter paper to dry stamps… put a heavy book on top and they will come out flat and crisp

Hi! I see you used a bit of soap. I still wonder if the water alone will not clean the stamps just as well. 🙂 Thank you for the video. It is very relaxing. 🙂

FYI, you missed several air mail stamps. 2 Montgomery Blair stamps at 1:30 and 4:25 plus the Olympics stamps and Samuel Langley stamp at 4:50.

Hi. I have watched all your videos and love your content. Keep up the good work! I wonder what application do you use to create your pages?

[@bzurer]

As I have said before. I love your videos - very centering and sometimes a little humorous too. I have some questions. Where do you find these beat up albums? Are you not tempted to use a heavier weight paper after putting in such careful work? Do you put have a single 4-ring binder that all of these go into or more than one? and in the US, 4-ring binders are not common. I have been looking for one. Keep up the good work.

Cheers. I do use a four-ring binder. Just one so far - I've only done 20 videos, but I'll need another soon as it's filling up. I guess you don't have to use this type - my paper is nothing special, as you said. Would be better to use better paper and binders - I may go down that route at some point, although the stamps are all common types - probably not worth spending lots on materials. I got the old albums in a boxload I bought. Have added one more since, and keeping an eye out for further old albums to add to the pile. Thanks for the interest 👍

You need to buy a stamp drying book.

[@stamps151]

Yeah, I should. I've always made do with towels, but you're right, they're not ideal.

Have you tried or do you use Hawid stamp mounts in any cases? Thank you for sharing.😊

[@stamps151]

Hi. Not in these videos, no. I like the way mounts look, but here I'm just taking used and already hinged stamps and re-hinging them. It's probably overkill to use Hawid mounts, but an interesting idea.
