Re: hot dry mounting - possible ?

2002-12-14 by bjpm77 <fnbjm1@uaf.edu>

I've been dry mounting ink prints for over a year and it works very 
well indeed. I prefer the look and stability of dry mounted 
photographic prints, and I have seen instances where hinged prints 
have become detached over time and droop in the mat. (I live in a 
very dry climate.) If the prints are framed and hanging, this is a 
real pain. 

My current concern is whether or not I will be able to continue dry 
mounting when I start coating prints with PolyShield. Does anyone 
have experience in this area? My coating rods and "goop" have just 
arrived and I plan to give coating a try over the upcoming holidays. 
Any feedback on mounting coated prints would be much appreciated.
