Important Use Note
Use with an arbor press or a vise using slow, even pressure. Do not strike this stamp with a hammer.
Arbor Press Instructions
- Place evenly cased leather on a sturdy platform beneath the anvil.
- Set the stamp on top of the leather and place a plate or block above it.
- Apply steady downward pressure for 15–20 seconds, then check and repeat for more depth if desired.
Vise Instructions
- Sandwich the cased leather and stamp between two flat boards or plates.
- Secure the setup in a vise and tighten firmly for 15–20 seconds.
- Release, inspect the impression, and repeat if needed.
Best Results: Casing Leather
Use a damp sponge to moisten the entire surface of the leather before pressing. Even moisture prevents water spots and gives a clean, uniform bite. A thick scrap of leather or pressing pad on top helps distribute pressure evenly.
Cleaning & Care
After each use, rinse or lightly scrub the engraved face and dry thoroughly. Avoid impact tools to protect engraving detail and prolong tool life.
Lifetime Guarantee
If regular press use stops producing an acceptable impression, return the stamp for a replacement. Use with a hammer voids the guarantee.
