Setup
Before using your custom leather stamp, ensure proper setup:
- Prepare the Work Surface: Ensure a stable and flat surface for stamping. A cutting mat or a solid workbench is recommended to absorb impact and provide a consistent base.
- Attach the Stamp to the Handle: Carefully screw the custom metal stamp onto the M5 threaded handle. Ensure it is securely tightened to prevent loosening during use.
- Prepare the Material: For leather, dampen the area to be stamped slightly with water. This helps achieve a clearer and deeper impression. For other materials like wood or plastic, ensure the surface is clean and free of debris.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to achieve a clear and consistent impression with your Arokimi Custom Leather Stamp:
- Position the Stamp: Place the assembled stamp onto the prepared material at the desired location. Ensure it is aligned correctly.
- Apply Pressure: Hold the handle firmly and vertically, ensuring the stamp head is flat against the material surface.
- Strike with a Hammer: Using a rubber mallet or a hammer, strike the top of the handle firmly and evenly. One or two solid strikes are usually sufficient. Avoid multiple light taps, as this can result in a blurry or double impression.
- Inspect the Impression: Carefully lift the stamp to reveal the imprinted design. If the impression is not deep enough, you may need to apply more force or re-dampen the leather slightly and repeat the process.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your leather stamp:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the metal stamp clean with a soft cloth to remove any residue from the material. For stubborn residue, a mild solvent suitable for metal can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Storage: Store the stamp and handle in a dry place to prevent rust or damage. Keep them away from excessive moisture or corrosive substances.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the M5 screw thread on both the stamp and the handle for any signs of wear or damage. A damaged thread can affect stability and impression quality.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Faint or Incomplete Impression | Insufficient force; material too dry; uneven strike. | Apply more force; slightly dampen the material (for leather); ensure an even strike. |
| Blurry Impression | Stamp moved during striking; multiple light taps instead of one firm strike. | Hold the stamp firmly in place; use a single, decisive strike. |
| Stamp Loosens from Handle | Insufficient tightening; worn M5 thread. | Ensure the stamp is securely screwed onto the handle before use. If the thread is worn, consider replacing the handle or stamp. |
| Material Damage | Excessive force; material too thin or delicate. | Adjust striking force; test on scrap material first; use appropriate material thickness. |
