The old lickem stamps were no problem to remove. Lay a wet sponge on them for a few minutes and they fell off.
But what's the answer to removing the new nolickem stamps?

Steam is only good for water soluble glue on stamps. The self-sticking stamps can be removed by putting the envelope between a thin layer of newspaper, being carefully warmed up with an iron. The heat from the iron softens the glue and the stamp can be pulled off the envelope. It is illegal to re-use an already cancelled stamp,. but you are completely within the law if use non-cancelled stamps! for one single stamp this seems to be too much efforts, but if you have a dozen or so or ran out of stamps on a weekend – go for it!

Yes, two way's that I know. Breath on it, you know like when you clean your glasses. Do that breathing a little bit, then peel, repeat this until your stamp is free.
Or, run hot water in the sink and bring the envelope over to the faucet. While the steam is rising from the hot water, slowly peel off the stamp, slowly now so it doesn't rip. Take your time, it works. :) No big deal.
Or cut it out and paste on another envelope. Cause you know you can't put scotch tape over them and mail anything. Post Office's do not accept that.

If that's a "Peel & Stick" Stamp, there is no thank you to get rid of the Stamp devoid of damaging it. The Steam removing technique works suitable on "Lick & Stick" Stamps.For the fashionable Stamp, in simple terms heavily shrink around the outer perimeter of the Stamp, and bypass away the Paper intact with the Stamp. in case you opt to Re-Use the Stamp, in simple terms dab some White Elmer's Glue to the lower back of the Stamp, and place it on the Envelope you opt to apply.And, for a splash further secure practices, dab a splash on the front of the Stamp, and unfold it around.The gadget on the submit place of work will study the Stamp in simple terms positive. i've got achieved it many cases.wish this enables !

WD-40 will do the trick but you'll have to wash them when you're through.
By the way, it is unlawful to use a stamp more than once even if it is uncanceled.

I would put a paperbag on top of it and use an iron to heat it through the bag. Should make the adhesive let go.

alcohol. Will also remove cancellation if feather touches are used. By the way this penny you are saving is better deserved by the USPS. That outfit is founded by Saintly Heroes.

I just cut them out and stick them on a new envelope with glue or sellotape.
