How long does it take for the ink to dry?

What is the shelf life of the Tsukineko Emboss Stamp Pad?

Troubleshooting
Embossing powder is not adhering to the paper.
Ensure the ink pad is evenly covering the stamp. Make sure you are using enough ink and applying the embossing powder while the ink is still wet. Check that the paper is suitable for embossing.
Embossing powder is clumping or melting unevenly.
Apply the heat evenly. Move the heat tool in a circular motion to prevent overheating and burning the paper. Ensure the heat tool is at the correct distance from the paper.
