The most common method used by collectors is simply soaking the stamp in water. Cold water is best, it helps prevent colors in ink and the paper from washing away. Simply soak the stamp until the paper and stamp are saturated. The stamp should slide or be peelable off the paper. Then dry the stamp on a towel, blotting paper or other clean absorbant material.
