I make my own delrin stamps and just use a mallets works fine.

Hmm okay! The maker said that using a maul might damage it, so I was worried about that - thanks!

I make my stamps from 1and1/4" delrin rods and 1.5 inchs tall , gives me room to hold the stamp while I strike it with the mallet.Its a dead blow so no bounce.

That last bit is important, you don't the hammer/maul to bounce and give a double impression! Dead blow hammer is the way to happiness.
