Acrylic Mounting Blocks – Acrylic Block 

If you’ve just purchased your unmounted rubber stamps and are deciding how to mount them, let us advise using acrylic mounting blocks instead of wood.  If you’re not sure what the difference is between acrylic mounting blocks and wood mounting blocks, let us explain it for you.

Wooden mounting blocks

With a wooden mount block, unlike an acrylic block, you will likely have to take one extra step.  Wooden mounts need to be coated with wood spray so they don’t warp over time which can be quite a hassle.  With wooden mounting blocks you will have space issues also.  Since wooden mounting blocks aren’t reusable and removable like acrylic blocks, you’ll lose space.  Factor in all the extra money you’ll spend on wooden blocks and the choice is clear…literally.

Acrylic mounting blocks

Acrylic blocks are far superior to wooden mounting blocks for several reasons.  With acrylic mounting blocks, you will be able to reuse the same block over and over again.  Although it is true that the initial investment of an acrylic block is more expensive than wood, you really do make back your money very quickly.  Since you can reuse your acrylic mounting blocks they also save time.  In addition, you won’t have the messy varnish and the like to deal with. 

Many people who choose to invest in unmounted rubber stamps find the acrylic mounting blocks a far better investment and for good reason.  Acrylic blocks won’t warp over time unlike wooden blocks.  It used to be difficult for stampers to find acrylic mounting blocks as they were a very specialized item.  Not too long ago, many individuals looking for acrylic blocks found themselves having to travel just to find someone to cut their acrylic into manageable sizes.  This isn’t true anymore.  Acrylic has quickly become the way to go for mounting blocks.

When investing in acrylic mounting blocks, there are a few supplies you will need to get started.  You will need, of course, your unmounted rubber stamps and EZ mount cling foam.  All you will need to do is affix the foam between the stamp and the acrylic block and you have yourself a functioning stamp.  It’s that easy.  No spraying, no treating, none of that extra stuff!  Plus, when you’re done with the stamp, simply remove the acrylic mounting block and use it on another stamp.
