I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS TO RECLAIM THOSE UNCANCELED POSTAGE STAMPS FROM A PACKAGE OR ENVELOP.  I THOUGHT THAT IWOULD SHARE MY METHOD TO RECOVER SOME OF MY STAMP MONEY GLUED IN ERROR TO ANY TYPE OF PACKAGE.  I HAD NOTICED THAT MY PILE OF STAMPS OF THE UNSENT MAIL HAD GROWN TO A FAIR SIZED PILE SO I SEARCHED ON GOOGLE AND AFTER READING SOME METHODS I THOUGHT THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY. 

SO IT GOES LIKE THIS TAKE A DISH THAT WILL WORK IN A MICROWAVE OVEN SEIZED TO THE TASK AHEAD AND FILL WITH ABOUT THREE EIGHTS INCH OF WATER. YOU NEED A DISH THAT WILL HOLD AS MANY STAMPS AS YOU WANT TO WORK WITH AT THE TIME.  CUT THE STAMPS FROM THE ENVELOPE OR PACKAGE BUT DO NOT CUT TOO CLOSE TO THE STAMP LEAVING ENOUGH PAPER TO HOLD ON THE EDGE.  THIS MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE EASY TO REMOVE THE STAMP FROM THE PACKAGE OR ENVELOPE.  YOU CAN USE A LARGE PAIR OF TWEEZERS TO HELP REMOVE THE PAPER AFTER THE TRIP THROUGH THE MICROWAVE.

PLACE THE STAMPS FACE UP IN THE WATER DISH AND PLACE THE DISH IN THE OVEN.  SET THE TIMER ON THE MICROWAVE AT ONE MINUTE AND FIFTEEN SECONDS.  WHEN THE TIME IS UP REMOVE THE DISH AND LET SET FOR A SHORT TIME AND THE STAMPS WILL FLOAT FROM THE PAPER.  YOU MAY OR MAY NOT NEED TO ALLOW A LITTLE MORE TIME IN THE OVEN TO HELP SOFTEN THE PAPER AND GLUE.  THIS WILL WORK AS WELL WITH THE ALREADY LICKED STAMPS AS WELL AS THE ONES WITH GLUE. OF COURSE USE A GLUE STICK TO STICK TO THE NEW MAIL PACKAGE.
