   Two possibilities here....   
      
   If it is NOT important to keep the gum intact, just soak them in warm   
   water, then dry them separately on blotting paper.   
      
   If you DO want to try and preserve the gum, hold the stuck stamps   
   in the steam from a kettle (using tweezers!) and very gently pull them   
   apart as the steam penetrates the stamps.  Don't be tempted to rush   
   this, as they will be easy to tear in a damp state!  Dry them as above.   
      
   This may not work on all of the stamps, but will rescue the majority!
