[Dx-qsl] Press It - Seal It Envelopes

Fri Oct 11 15:05:01 2002

But, the press and seal, if done properly are much better.  I've gone to using a roller for the lick n seal, which puts a lot of water on the envelope.  I guess the chance is that the QSL may get a water stain...and sometimes I find the lick n seal are not sufficiently glued (you really need warm/hot water to activate the glue).  But I've long given up on using my tongue on these things, firstly, some of the glue tastes a lot like dung, and secondly, my guess is that's not the most sanitary thing to do, especially when a greenstamp was under the flap when it was sent to me.
