- I did not do a very good job presenting the Norway kiloware mixture, in episode 17. Therefore, I have recorded this follow up video, to provide a little more information about it. Also, see what's coming up in my next Stamp Haul Unboxing video.

Kiloware! Desert Magic soaking books are the way to go!
I have never tried a dessert magic drying book. I have found that drying the stamps on a brown paper bag like you get from a grocery store works well. The bags are not real absorbent, but they are stiff and the stamps tend to dry fairly flat. You can use them quite a few times before they start to warp. I then lay the stamps on plastic sheet protectors. You can layer a lot of stamps between layers and if there is residual gum the stamps come off the sheet protectors easily. I cover the stamps with a book and also add a 10 lb weight. I get nice flat stamps!
The Desert Magic book does warp pretty quickly, but when I’m not using it I stack 3 or 4 Scott Catalogue on it to flatten it out again. They work very well though. 20 minutes in the book, with a couple Scotts on top, and they’re good to go.
You're a delight to watch. I've really been enjoying your style and content.
Thank you, Beth. I appreciate the kind words.
Hey that drying book looks like a sure must.. I have an a2 art pad with thick paper and I just laid it out on the table and put the stamps face down after tapping them with blotting paper..
Always took up too much room and I had to end up placing them under a pile of catalogues.
That book will solve the problem .Excellent call..😊👍
After a couple uses these pages are also warped enough that you need to then use a catalogue. Still, very useful.
@@tedtalksstamps I just think the idea of being able to get them into a smaller surface area - the idea of multiple gloss leaves, makes a difference. I did notice the curling but that's not as big a deal as having to lay out a big sheet on a workspace and then not being able to use it while they dry out also the drying time is faster. I've never used the detergent in the water. I just use like warm water and simply pop stamps onto the surface so face down so they just float - that also means I can only do as many in one go as the surface area of the water requires. So definitely I've been doing it all wrong..
Although I do wonder, when you showed the adhesive layer remaining on one of the bits of paper.. Is that pure adhesive or is it an adhesive sheet bonded to the stamp? I mean while with traditional stamps only the adhesive comes off, with the new self adhesives, does an actual part of the stamp come off and does that devalue the stamp in anyway?
I've never soaked self adhesives on paper..well that's because the supplier always has always done it beforehand. (my mixed bags are usually from reduced auction lots).. And all my on paper that I have at the moment are GB Kings or QE2 commemoratives pre self adhesive.
But I have been building up a pile of envelopes more recently that are covered with stamps.. There may be some self adhesive in them. Am still trying to find some good kiloware suppliers here in the UK. They're not as abundant as they were in the last millennium.
Still am looking for that book. Seems its a USA product - all the suppliers have a hefty shipping cost. So I might try to find an equivalent in the UK if its not available.
**if you know of any others I should avoid like the plague, that would be cool.
Thanks for going over the stamp removal process. I have some stamps that I have saved on paper and I recently bought the stamp removal liquid and the drying book in order to remove the paper.
Virginia Chavez You’re welcome. I’m guessing you have US stamps, that won’t soak off in water? They’re boogers to work with, aren’t they? 😀
@@tedtalksstamps Canada has then aswell
I learned something new; I would have guessed the Machins were the longest running single design, now I know its the posthorn. Also, I love the promo for the desert valley drying book (ordering one now)
Have you used the drying book yet? How's it working for you?
You mention HipStamps a lot. I’ve never used them...would love to see a video on that source! Tips, strategies...what to look for, what to avoid.
I mention HS a lot because I have a store there. And even aside from that, I like buying off that site. The fees for sellers are low enough that even minimal value stamps can be listed. And you will find many of the large reputable dealers that also sell on ebay. Also, every month there is a chance to win a Penny Black.
Awesome :-)
Thanks again!
Nice video Ted.
- The heraldic lions you claim was from 1937 Scott 171 (color Red Brown) , are in fact from 1946, Scott 197A color Red.
- On the same slide there was some 60 øre with rope knot on. These come in three different types. I can see you have two of them.
The main differences are the twists on the bottom rope. Scott 445Aa and 466a have four whole twists on bottom rope, 466 has five twists. And 445Aa comes with phosphorent paper.
I also noticed that there was some stamps with damaged perf and cut of perfs, King Olav 20kr and the 3.20 swan.
Looking forward to your next video.
Sorry for the late response. I thought I had replied, already. Anyway, thanks for the correction on the lion.
The desert magic drying book seems good! I am going to find one :)
It comes in two sizes. I have the half size one. I wish I had gotten the full size book. I will just have to order another one.
Thanks. I am also keen to get the A4 size and have just searched online for it. The item price is fine but the postage is quite alot as I am based in Singapore. Need to call up the stamp shops in my country to see if any of them sell this here.
I thought your last video was great, but love having another. Keep making bad videos and follow ups!
Thanks! Will do!
To dry my stamps that I soak since I don’t soak many I put them on a metal rack thing and angle my desk lamp right above them, they dry pretty quick
Do you run into problems with the stamps curling up, using that method?
@@tedtalksstamps i flatten them afterwords under a heavy book or they simply flatten pretty ok after being in the stockbook for a while. Although yes many do stay a little curled.
Lovely stamps, the worst thing to happen to me while soaking my stamps was the colouring running, it was a nightmare!
Luckily I didn't have any on red paper. :)
Always remove stamps on colored paper from your soaking batch. Red envelopes are the real culprits. You find them on Christmas and Valentine mail. Use a stamp lifter. Need to also check self adhesives to see if water will do the job. The Scott Cat will give you some advise on that. Many US stamps are not water soluable and will be ruined if you try water.
@@johngreen3543 Thanks John, I'll definitely have to get myself a stamp lifter the next time I do this.
If any had full postmarks on paper those might have been worth keeping
Yes, clean clear circular date stamps on used stamps are a joy to find and collect.
Hey! Wanted to ask you, that once you use a set of pages from the desert drying book can you re-use it to dry a new set of stamps? Or it's like a use and throw kind of deal?
Nirav Gangar you can reuse the pages. Over time the glossy page will get warped from the moisture. But I don’t know if that would affect the drying process, as long as you keep a heavy book on top of it.
HELLO TED. NICE STAMPS YOU'VE GOT MY FRIEND .ANY DOUBLES TO GET RID OFF? I'M WILLING TO BUY FROM YOU PLEASE.
I don’t have any stamps to get rid of or trade. I do have a store on HipStamp. You can find the link in the description.
THANKS TED. I'M FROM SOUTH AFRICA.@@tedtalksstamps
Hi Can you check on a 1969 Alabama 6 cent stamp some have 2 red lines on head hood and some have 1 red line on the hood not sure if error or scott numbers are different . thank you! hope you can figure this out!
I don't know the answer, myself. But, I am checking with my merry band of stamp collectors to find out for you. Stay tuned.
@@tedtalksstamps Thank You ! Love your videos. P.S I use vinegar to remove that nasty glue on the newer stamps also after soaking in water and they are dry I use a iron mild heat I put them between fabric to soften them back up works great for me.
@@sheilaferrebee9142 Thank you. Without seeing your Alabama stamp I can't give a concrete answer. But this stamp was prone to color registration problems, and there are many examples showing color shifts of varying degrees. Perhaps this is what you see on yours. You might try posting a picture of it on a stamp forum such as StampBears, and see what others have to say.
