I'm wondering if these stamps can be heated and used to imprint gold foil sheets onto leather? Do you think these will work for that project?

I should have said "I don't know!" However, I would think that heating is unnessescary! Your trying to place a certain amount of gold with impressions into a softer material. Try it without heating first for the results. Then try with the heating! I think you will find the best way to transfere the gold onto "Leather" will give you the answer. I think that heating the "STAMP", would cause the Gold foil to become too thin and then too brittle to have a solid "Stamp Mark" impression for your needs!

they are very thick, I doubt any printer could handle it. You could hand stamp.

I have these plates. They designs are well etched in the plate. I have used them and no problem with stamping. I used regular polish. The polishes that are on thin side will not work that well. I used regular polish and there was no problem with the plates no stamping.

I don't think this would work as they are not water proofed that I know of. I use them for shipping labels only, but I always cover them with tape to make sure the ink doesn't run. Thank you!!

You are somewhat vague with your question, what do you plan on doing with the heat gun?? I use these while melting zinc at 750'F for splash protection, I don't feel the heat at all. In the reviews, the brown part of the leather can be burnt fairly easily.

The sheets are very thin, I do not think it would be a very good protective mailer, cardboard would be better. They do however work great for print making.

These blanks are pretty thin. They don't hold their shape after bending. Stamping might give them more strength. I would use a gilders paste just to give them some interest. I tried using polymer clay on them and was disappointed with the lack of strength.

Hmmm.. that is a good question. Stamps as in ink stamps... probably? just have to be careful and make sure they dry so they don't smudge? I'm sorry, that's prob. not much help. As I don't have them in front of me. I placed personalized stickers on them... and also printed w laser print onto them.? back in August. I donot have any more in front ofme to text out? Goood Luck...

Yes I have and it works great, just remember work fast and have everything ready you are going to use to make a mold impression. I have never imprinted onto leather but if the impression is deep enough and you press hard enough I don't see why it won't work. Just work fast

The metal is actually rather thin and soft. A ballpoint pen was not enough, in my experience, but a pointed tool was. I do think metal stamping might work well, but I didn't try it myself so I can't say for sure.

I am not sure that this will do the job you are hoping to do...I have heard of the foam knifes being used to cut stamps, but the ones I have heard of doing so are hot knifes. This cuts foam board well because it has the blade for the paper and the heat for the foam. I think you need more heat than what this will give you.

Yes. They are also good for applying ink to your stamps. You can write with the smaller end too. Lay down a layer of ink on your image, then go over it to smooth and blend the colors. These are among my favorites. Hope you will like them too.

I too used them to melt down. It was not easy to peel the paper off at all, it took a really long time. However once I had them peeled they melted nicely.

If you look in the reviews, you can see that we are very disappointed with this paper, with some sets working, and others will not transfer. If you write with a pen, you must press very HARD. I doubt a stamp would work. I would check each set in a corner before starting out. Probably best used with a typewriter.

Not sure that you can, they have a matte finish, may not print right; See if you can do one as a test without wasting the entire sheet.

By making stamps, I assume you mean you'll be making a negative to press this material into. It dries very rigid very ABS plastic like. Stamps usually are a bit more rubber like. I would recommend looking at devcon flexane. If you wrote me a more detailed process of what you mean by "making stamps" I could be of much more help.

I have always used them for baking purposes; but, I would certainly think they would work fine for stamps as long as they were kept in a temperature controlled environment.
