Gift certificates are delivered 24 hours a day, immediately and automatically upon payment to your own email. They are not tied to any account. To give the gift certificate to someone else, you can simply forward that email to the recipient, or click on the link inside to view a printable version that you can place in a greeting card, etc.

 

Want us to mail a physical gift certificate to you or directly to your intended recipient instead? We can do that! Just check the box next to "Want us to mail a physical gift certificate?" and we'll mail a beautifully designed check-sized gift certificate directly to the address you provide at checkout with your desired gift message and all. You'll still get instant digital delivery also, so there will always be a backup copy.

No need to worry: the certificate can be combined with other payment methods for orders above the gift certificate's value, and any unused balance can be applied toward a future order (or orders) for any orders that are less than the gift certificate's value.

 

Our gift certificates have no processing fees, no maintenance fees, and never expire.

What mounting method should I use for your stands?
A short answer to this question can be found below, but if you want a more detailed comparison, see the "Should I use putty, hot glue, or something else to mount my object" question under the "Mounting and Display" category of our FAQ


For most objects and applications, we think hot-glue is the best option overall. It provides a much more secure hold than mounting putty, but is usually easy to remove completely (and still not very difficult to remove when it isn't downright easy), is cheap, invisible or nearly so, stable enough to be permanent if desired, and bonds well enough to allow low stress-free handling for rearranging of displays, transport, or cleaning. Even the most extreme viewing angles are usually possible, especially with the addition of support peg(s).


If removability is your biggest concern above all else, use mounting putty. It doesn't provide the best hold, or the most invisibility, but it won't harm your object and is as to remove as simply peeling it off. Adding support pegs allows you to use less material for a cleaner look, and/or allow for extreme viewing angles. We do recommend checking it once a year or so to make sure it isn't drying out in your climate, but our special brand of museum-grade mounting putty has been in use by collectors and museums around the world for many years on many pieces and we've yet to find a single report of it happening yet. 


If secure, permanent mounting is your biggest concern above all else, use E6000 glue (Amazon link). It bonds extremely well, is invisible in most applications, is extremely stable, and remains very affordable. However, keep in mind it is practically impossible to remove without damaging your object and/or stand! And do be careful to avoid counterfeit look-a-likes when purchasing - there are many cheap imitators around online! 


If the avoidance of adhesives of any kind is your biggest concern above all else, use custom support pegs, molded sub-bases, or custom engraved bases. Which of these you choose will depend on your budget, personal aesthetics, object geometry, and patience. 


We are also happy to help advise you on the best mounting method for your own needs, just contact us!

How do I remove an object mounted with hot glue?

We find a lot of collectors are hesitant to use hot glue out of fear that it will be difficult to remove without damaging their display object. That isn't really true, it's actually pretty quick and easy, particularly when the right glue is used (one with medium adhesion, high flexibility, and high quality/stability like ours). Furthermore, if you think about it, it is pretty unlikely you would ever really need to remove the object from the stand in reality anyway. The stand lasts forever and won't need to be replaced, and if you were to sell the object or give it away, the stand would only add to its monetary and aesthetic value. If you did ever have to remove it, it would be a pretty rare occurrence indeed, and the slightly extra effort required to remove hot glue once (if at all) is something we feel is definitely worth the years of perks of a such a simple, secure, affordable, and hidden mounting solution. 


One thing that helps in removal is that our hot glue really likes to bond to itself more than anything else, and will nearly always come off as a single piece. Another is that there are many different tricks and techniques that will loosen its grip entirely, or at least substantially enough to peel it off without much force. The first step is to get the stand and the object separated, and then to remove the blob of hot glue from whichever of the two halves it stuck to when separated. Try the process below, and feel free to contact us if you need any advice!


THE TWO-STEP REMOVAL PROCESS:


1a) The smooth surface of our stands means that a slow pull or gentle rocking motion will usually free an object from the stand without much effort. If so, proceed to step 2. If it feels like too much force is going to be needed to separate them safely, or your object is extremely fragile to begin with, try step 1b instead.


1b) Place the stand in a sink or container of warm water up to at least the level of the glue (if the object can get wet) for 12-24 hours. Water will soften the glue and step 1a) should work to remove it from the stand, and likely the object as well. If it can't get wet, but can handle temperature changes, putting it in the freezer for an hour should do it. A hot car or blow dryer can also work. If this fails, you can use rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol or denatured alcohol (ethanol) on a cotton bud to separate the two. Avoid getting it on any paint fill on the engraved stand (if present), and don't leave it soaking in alcohol. Acrylic is very slightly soluble in alcohol over time, as are some paint fills. At this point we just want to get the stand and object separated so we can proceed to step 2.


2) Once freed from one another, the glue will either have stuck to the stand or your object. If it is stuck to the stand, simply peel it off with your fingernail. You can put it in the freezer or soak in warm water if it won't come off, but it really should pop off the smooth stand pretty easily. If it is stuck to the object then use the first technique in the following list that is safe for your object:


i) Simply peel it off with your finger. Smooth materials of all kinds, and rocks or fossils with a powdery or fine-grained texture should peel off safely without much effort, and even most rough-textured objects can be pried off with just a fingernail if they are sturdy enough to be handled safely while you do it.


ii) Acetone (nail polish remover) will dissolve hot glue very effectively, so just apply and slowly peel the glue blob back to expose more of the contact area to acetone. Or simply let it sit in a container of acetone for a bit until it peels off easily. Nearly every mineral is acetone safe, unless they have been repaired with glue, and even then it can still be used if you avoid getting it on the repaired area. WARNING: do NOT use acetone anywhere on the stand. Acetone WILL dissolve paint, acrylic, and most other plastics very rapidly!!!


iii) Soak contact area in warm water for 12-24 hours until glue has softened enough to peel off.


iv) 1 hour in freezer / hot car / or blow dryer. Temperature change should cause enough expansion or contraction to allow separation of the glue blop with a fingernail. You can alternate hot and cold to amplify the results.


v) Rubbing Alcohol / Denatured Alcohol - again, safe for nearly every mineral and fossil, and most glue-repaired ones at that. Not as effective as acetone, but when used the same way, should allow for easy removal.


Again, you should only need to use one of these step 2 techniques to get the blob of glue off safely, but we are listing many to cover a variety of materials. Searching YouTube for "how to remove hot glue from ..." will provide a variety of tutorials for even more specific materials. Also, don't be afraid to contact us if you need any advice!
