Stamps/adhesive seals35 messages

Hello

I have a little question in relatives with self-adhesive stamps.
how do you best remove it from an envelope? With ordinary seals briefly in water and they will come off. And if I tinker with them, I often damage them or just paper sticks to the back. Who has good tips?

greetings benny

try to roll it off. The last self-adhesive stamps in the Netherlands are a disaster. Just like the USA and Belgium, it is impossible to get rid of it. Try to pull off the 1st layer if they are not wet yet and cut the rest with a small edge all around. In short, it is a disaster with several stamps.

As with all other stickers, simply heat with a hair dryer (on the low setting). The glue then becomes liquid enough to be able to remove the seal undamaged (except for the 'damage' to the glue layer itself, of course).

You should try the latest Christmas stamp 2012 of Belgium.

I just soak them in warm water anyway. No problem at all with Dutch stamps.

Pedag's tip:

Net als bij alle andere stickers, gewoon verwarmen met een haarföhn (op de lage stand). De lijm wordt dan vloeibaar genoeg om de zegel onbeschadigd (behalve dan de 'schade' aan de lijmlaag zelf natuurlijk) te kunnen verwijderen.

en

Micho's tip:

Ik week ze toch gewoon af in warm water. Totaal geen probleem met nederlandse zegels.

Die werken natuurlijk niet bij de meeste Belgische, Franse, Braziliaanse Russische en US zelfklevende zegels maar dat wist je natuurlijk al en het is goedbedoelt :), mocht iemand uiteindelijk wel een werkende oplossing/methode weten voor het losweken van de moeilijkere zelfklevende zegels van bovengenoemde landen ook Sinbad wil het graag weten.

Overigens heeft de UPU en de lokale verenigingen van deze landen gevraagd een andere lijmsoort te gebruiken na vele duizenden klachten van verzamelaars

Of course they don't work with most Belgian, French, Brazilian Russian and US self-adhesive stamps, but of course you already knew that and it is well-intentioned :), if anyone eventually knows a working solution / method for removing the more difficult self-adhesive stamps from the above mentioned countries Sinbad would also like to know.

Incidentally, the UPU and the local associations of these countries have asked to use a different type of glue after many thousands of complaints from collectors

In Belgium it is "simple" for bpost:

After many complaints, bpost has apologized to the user philatelists but claims that there is nothing they can do about it; they have ongoing contracts with the supplier that cannot be reversed ...

Thanks for the tips. I have already tried in hot water. Indeed not working properly. Of course I only save the Belgian stamps. I don't know about the other countries.

I'll give the hairdryer a try

greetings benny

I'll give the hairdryer a try

Save you the trouble, I've already tried

aja ok then.
will have to have a lot of duplicates in the hope that a few will work out well.

greetings benny

sticker foetsie?

or placing it on top of the stove on a plate to dry it out, maybe let it go?

Sinbad

Did I give a tip?

Micho's tip:

I just deviated them anyway in warm water. No problem at all with Dutch stamps

That's what those "" doubles "" "

You got those "" doubles ""

Maybe time for your own Avatar? you've been on the forum long enough and you've become a big boy now, as long as you promise not to take an ugly avatar like Alard :)

I have a possible solution.

I now dip my self-adhesive stamps in white spirit. No damage. but put it in water after soaking. have the problem that the seals do stick. But you can solve this by sprinkling a little tallow over it.
but I do say try it first on a cheap double seal. It's ok with me. But don't want to get on my ass if it doesn't work out for Julie.

greetings benny

Benny, cut all around and leave seals, everything you try has risks

some stickers, the imprint will come off when you use water or benzene.

Spanish stickers are also a disaster.

if you buy them MNH, you also leave them on the paper when you collect them, and you better do that with canceled stamps.

yes, but that is not so nice. I still do this at the moment but with Belgian stamps.
greetings benny.

This is for Sinbad,

Think first before throwing names. I'm not saying you should eat spinach first.

Deviate. I neatly removed the series from the Netherlands with that fireworks on the sheet and pasted it on sticker paper and then neatly cut away all around with a cleaver from the hawid strips. Fine, nothing damaged.

Think before you start throwing names. I'm not saying that you should eat spinach first.

Why should I eat spinach first? I am Sinbad the Sailor, not Popeye the Sailorman

@sinbad, don't you like spinach?

Don't you want to be a popeye for one day, and then ff with [Deleted, stay substantive! - Moderator]

what a rest we have then !!!!

The level has dropped significantly again.

Dear fellow collectors,

I have already used the product "eau ecarlate" several times and this with success! (In the United States they use a similar product called bestine). Until now only used for the release of self-adhesive stamps on envelopes. I rub the fragment along the paper side and can remove the seal within seconds. I neutralize the glue using neutral talcum

En wat is dit spul in nederlands

op beiden namen op google kom ik niet echt iets nederlands tegen

en als google vertaler brengt me ook niks verder

Dus voor mij is dit een hele openbaring voor het losweken/krijgen van de zelfklevende zegels maar kan er nog niks mee ! :S

graag verdere uitleg welk chemisch proces ik moet gaan volgen of welk product ik moet gaan kopen

And what is this stuff in Dutch

I can't really find anything Dutch on both names on google

and google translate doesn't help me either

So for me this is quite a revelation for soaking/getting the self-adhesive stamps, but I can't do anything with it yet! :S

I would like further explanation of which chemical process I should follow or which product I should buy

it is a stain remover, and costs 5.95 per bottle, and can be bought at ETOS or DA

or in France
