Rubbing Alcohol in Rubber stamping Projects

By , About.com Guide

Definition: While rubbing alcohol isn't used extensively in rubber stamping projects, it does have its uses. It is used, for instance, with alcohol inks to help blend the colors. Another way that rubbing alcohol can be used is to clean glass or other shiny surfaces prior to stamping. Rubbing alcohol should not be used to clean rubber stamps as this can dry out the rubber and damage the stamp.



Rubbing alcohol should only be used in a well ventilated work area and the manufacturers instructions should be referred to before using.
