Squirt fluid over stamp quite liberally and working quite quickly, express as many air bubbles as possible. Insert stamp face side down in the mount. Those black cardboard backed stock cards will not work. The main attribute of these mounts is that the fluid used remains trapped in the mount and only soaks into the stamp. The mount should be one of those similar to the Leuchterm type, that can be bought in specific sizes or in strips that can be cut down. It is quite a simple method, which only requires lighter fuel (Ronsonol in the US ?), or a watermark detection fluid and a stamp mount. No doubt there will be those that will take a dim view of this method, but I have had no adverse effects. I don't have any sophisticated 'Photoshop' type software, so I have tried a couple of different manual methods to find one that works reasonably successfully. I don't know about others, but I find it useful to work with scans of watermarks, where I think there is evidence of a variety.
