Drying book

There are a number of different drying books that are used as a final step for drying your stamps. They will last a long time with good care so in this writer's opinion are well worth buying if you are buying kiloware.

The important part is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. If you don't like to read instructions, then let me know your address so I can move as far way from you as possible so I will be safe when you manage to blow up your house somehow.

Most drying books are spiral bound pages of heavy blotter paper. What's blotter paper? When people all used liquid ink pens, it would be ;placed against wet ink on a document or signature to prevent smearing. So it is quite absorptive. The recommended drying book is the Showgard Desert II that alternates slick pages (for the back sides of stamps) and blotter paper pages (for the faces of stamps).
