Hawid Mount Problem With Keeping Stamps In Position

According to the Norphil blog, HAWID will close its business on June 30th.

Wow. How sad. This deserves it's own topic.

One way to secure stamps in Hawid mounts is to use a Hawid glue pen, the use of which is shown in this video.



You'd better stock up, though, before Hawid closes its doors!

I was having this issue with Hawid mounts keeping my stamps in place when I discovered it was occurring when I close my three ring binder. It essentially sends a shockwave through my pages, which shifts all the stamps. To combat this, I hold my pages together while I close my binder and the problem is gone!

I find Hawid mounts just don't hold stamps tightly enough. I recently sent a "circulating packet" of stamps to the next person by mail. nothing got dinged or torn, but I am told nearly every hawid mounted stamp was unmounted by the time it got to it's destinantion!.I use split back mounts because they hold a stamp more securely, but they have stopped making them. The hoard I bought is already running out of the most useful size for USA stamps. Guess I'll have to start using hinges.

It's strange because my Mystic Hingeless album doesn't have this issue at all. I can't imagine the quality of mounts in that album are all that much better.

Noocassel - Prinz are still showing split-back mounts -
