I was really pleased as when I saw them demo'd I thought they looked great but i've had a go with it and can't seem to get a decent image. I think it may be due to having my stamps on EZmount. Has anyone else found problems with this? thanks Claire xx Ps the goodie bag was fab, loads of stuff in it from sakura pens, glitter, decoupage, rubber stamps and all sorts in it - a lovely surprise and well worth the points

They said on the show the rockablock works with stamps mounted on ez mount, but it doesnt make sense to me, surely the ez mount will make the stamp sit higher than the rockers? By the way out of intrest how would you remove the ez mount if you wanted to use the rock a block with the stick and spray?? Clair

I usually put it in on high for about 10 seconds and then try it. If it is still stuck, try for a further 10 seconds - better then cooking you rubber stamp by heating it for to long. Hope this helps - it certainly worked for me. If you have any clear stamps - don't try this, although they shouldn't really have been in ez mount any way. personally though I would try the rock-a-block with one stamp first, rather than take all your stamps off the ez mount - some people have found they prefer the ez mount.

I've had another look at the rockablock and I think you are right, the stamps are too high on the EZmount for the rockers to work properly. I must admit I think the EZmount is great and produces brilliant results so I wouldn't take my stamps off, it'd take till Christmas lol. Claire xx

Suppose it's just what I am used to, I am actually considering putting them up for a swap. Janette x

I've had a curve decor stamping block for years, huge beastie but the principle is the same so havent had any problems with rockablocks & ezmounted stamps. That said I prefer a flat block for tilda sized stamps but you get a really good result using a curved block and large detailed stamps.
