Still learning how to stamp effectively: took lots of trial and error on timing and pressure to get generally clean stamps (although I'm wondering if I'm making it harder on myself not having proper stamping polish). My circuitboards still have a handful of lifted traces, but I'm generally happy with how it turned out!

Stamping polish can help…but it’s also gonna have lifted sections etc. I have some non-stamping polishes that out perform the stamping ones so it really comes down to a ton of variables. individual polish, consistency and pigmentation, stamp depth, stamp intricacies, stamper type, type of scraper, angle of scraper, speed of pick up, speed of application, what you apply it on…..etc. Don’t fret!
I didn’t notice any imperfections till I read your caption!
