that had used contact cement and they were all sliding off their backings after being exposed to moisture

Does anyone know whether this happens if you use the "permanent" method of rubber cement (i.e., apply to both items, let dry, then attach).

I'd love to use rubber cement instead of super glue. Super glue has the unfortunate problem that if you use about half the container, the rest becomes a brick. And they don't really give the stuff away.

In one of the tutorials Goop was recommended. I can't find that tutorial right now, but it's not in "Stamp Carving 101".

Does anyone know how Goop holds up because my stamps haven't had a winter yet.

You can find sheets of thick foam at Joann fabrics and sometimes at some Michaels. Then you can skip the door knocker thingys. I also slash the back of the stamp like Freddy Krueger so the glue can penetrate; makes a firmer hold.
