   By soaking them in a bowl of water and waiting until the stamps float   
   off the backing paper and then drying them face down on clean white   
   blotting paper, a tea towel or kitchen roll.   
      
   Alternatively you can use commercially available products such as   
   stamplift or a sweat box.   
      
   Older stamps may have more value being left on the original paper but   
   modern ones should be no problem.   
      
   Hope this helps.
