Adhesive Eraser – not just for adhesive

For those without a Xyron or no desire to buy one then bear with me here… you’ll enjoy this post anyway.

Hands up if you love Xyron! I have three of them, the 510, 250 and the 150 (x-shaped) and I love them. I have heard though many people complaining about Xyron residue or ‘Xyron snot’ as it’s all known as. If you have Xyron residue issues then you definitely need an adhesive eraser. But guess what? It also erases Stampin’ Up! SNAIL Adhesive if you’ve managed to get some SNAIL where you don’t want it – such as on part of your card or scrapbooking layout or on your desk. I’ve even used the eraser to successfully remove sticky tape (cellotape) residue from fabric.

For those of you who have had problems stamping with solid stamps that are new (i.e. stamps that have lots of flat rubber areas as opposed to fine lines), try ‘cleaning’ your stamp with the Adhesive Eraser – it removes any residue left from the rubber stamp making processs and gives your stamp a bit of ‘tooth’… perfect for those who are a bit wary of using fine sandpaper on stamps. Of course this also works for any photo stamps that you might have such as stamps from Stampsmith.

But here’s the big tip – bet you didn’t know the Adhesive eraser was great for cleaning rubber stamps. Yep! If you have a rubber stamp that’s badly stained by StazOn, no matter how bad it is, then just give it a clean with this eraser… makes the rubber look brand new! So next time you’re placing a Stampin’ Up! order with me, throw one of these little beauties in – probably the best $3.75* I’ve ever spent. ;)

Edited to add: I totally forgot! Thanks to Debra for reminding me… the Adhesive Eraser also removes rub-ons – great for if you’ve accidently gotten a bit of a rub-on somewhere on your work that you weren’t supposed to.

Another edit!:  Also great for cleaning your scissors from gunk build-up from cutting double-sided tape or for cleaning scissors used for cutting rubber stamps, especially cutting rubber that has been mounted onto ezy-mount.  Thanks to Lez & Kristie for this tip. :D

    Thanks for the great tips! I must have been living in a cave because I only recently picked up one of these things and I really like it.
