I find that once I have licked them the self stick stamps will not stick at all.

rosequartz I could not agree more but many of the self stick envelopes do not do their job and I find it so frustrating.

I don't know if they stick properly or not, I just loathe licking stamps, envelopes, anything with glue from goodness' knows where on them. I usually use some water and a finger then wash my hands, but putting stamps on to those cards that are sent out once a year to all and sundry (oh can I say the word it's so much easier!!) Christmas cards was most unpleasant until the introduction of self-stick ones.

I don't have a problem with stamps but I get annoyed when I buy a card and the envelope won't stick down properly. I keep a small roll of sellotape in the car just in case.

Never had that problem... damn things stick so that you can't get them off to rectify an error.

Sellotape on top!

I have just had two situations using those stamps, and finding the person who I have sent them to telling me there was no stamp on the envelopes.
Is there a solution?
