STAMP FAKING

¢ STAMP FAKING MADE EASY.
³ by d-Orb/tPHA.
¹I have read quite a lot of articles
lately dealing with the stamps
subject. I have been dealing with
the subject for quite a long time,
and I now have the facts.
There are plenty of methods, which,
depending on the country, are more or
less effective. The basis is that
you don't pay for your stamps, or at
least, that you don't spend so much
money on stamps.
²a) Sello tape:¹ one of the lamest.
Take a Scotch Magic roll, and wrap
your stamp with it. It usually
works, and stamps are more or less
everlasting. It's really easy to
detect, and well, I wouldn't use it,
unless you're living in a very big
city without electronic sorting
facilities.
²b)Nail enamel: ¹ This is quite a good
one. Cover your stamp with nail
enamel. When it's nearly dry, press
it agains your hand. With the small
wrinkles there, you will print a
pattern on the cover that will
disguise the otherwise bright stamp.
Do not apply too much: a little bit
is more than enough, but make sure it
covers everything.
¶²c)Glue: ¹ Similar to b. Instead of
nail enamel, use some kind of glue
stick, such as Uhu, or Pelikan. As
this isn't bright, you won't need to
press your hand against it. Take
care, as sometimes the glue is still
sticky when dried. I have received
letters with pieces of paper stuck on
the stamp, and that should be quite
evident.
²d)Plastifying:¹ OK, this is a simple
one, but quite expensive. It's not a
very good one, but it sortta works.
Combine with some other method, and
the effect should be great. Buy a
plastifying card, place the stamp
inside, and iron it. There you are.
Cut out the excess of plastic, and
apply something to add realism to
your artwork.
²e)Spraying: ¹Some kind of plastifying
spray. I don't know much about it,
because it's unavailible in Spain.
Anyway, if you know something, let me
know.
²f)Cream: ¹ Use Eric Clapton instead,
HUH? Just some kind of paranoia.
Good, go to a chemist's, and ask for
a gel for your spots. Tell the lady
to give you some kind of transparent
one. In Spain, we have one which is
wonderful, nobody will notice it. If
you find it, apply a VERY THIN layer,
otherwise, a whiteish plaster will
form, and your stamp will be ruined
for ever. It's my favorite, given
that a 500 Pts. tube (4.50 Us$) will
¶last for at least one or two years!
²g)Pamphlet:¹ You know, everybody
receives them, those mail offers
which come with a "post today to get
the free gift" envelope, and instead
of a stamp have a "Port paid" thingy.
OK, insead of the name of the
company, get your correspondent's
address, and there you are. A good
way to get 'em is to write to Time
magazine, Newsweek or any of these in
order to get information. I get a
couple of this envelopes every week.
You may also cut out the "port paid"
sign and stick it onto your envelope.
²h)Belfo-system: ¹ Okay, write your
correspondent's address in as if it
was the sender. Then, write your
name and address in the place
provided for the correspondent's
address. Alternatively, write your
correspondent's address in both
places. Of course, do NEVER place a
stamp on these letters. And, realize
that, obviously, this method won't
work for international
correspondence.
When your contact sends the stamps
back, you must recover them. Do as
follows:
²-Methods A-F:¹ Cut out the stamp from
the envelope, keeping a small frame
around the stamp. Place it in hot
water, and gently rub the stamp. In
about five minutes, your stamp should
be clean again, and unstuck of the
¶piece of envelope. Place, then onto
a glass surface, such as a window, in
order to dry.
²-Methods G & H:¹ What did you expect?
You won't get'em back, man.
¼Personally, the method I use is the
following:
¹-I buy one of the cheapest stamps
around
-I place some sellotape ON the BACK
of the stamp, in order to strenghten
it a bit.
-I apply my Cream on top
-And sometimes, inside the square
with our "beloved" king, I apply some
Scotch Magic too. Over it, more
Cream (with Eric Clapton..)
You won't have any problems if you
follow this last method. I've used
stamps faked like this for around 10
times, and they are still working.
And, if by any reason, you'd like to
contact me for swapping illegal, any
kind of arcane text philes, or for
stamp faking, or whatever, feel free
to do so. My address is on the ad's.
And you're free to use faked stamps!
