What dry mounting sheets are being used?

Is this method cool with the diehard archivists out there?
I'd like to try the dry mounting method. Is it definitely the adhesive
method of choice? - compared to any of the spray mount methods.

Is there a spray that might be acceptable as a non yellowing, acid free
solution? 

Other adhesive materials in use?

Any thoughts on this from traditional printmakers and collage artists would
be of interest.

I currently am participating in a print exchange of 25 prints with
traditional printmakers - as I currently have no access to intaglio or litho
presses I am going forward with piezo. I do feel a bit like a cheater
although I know I shouldn't. I won't make a big deal out of the process when
I submit the image. One of the dilemmas is the print size. 17 x 14 inches.
Too large for my 1160. So I would like to make a smaller image and mount it
to a 17 x 14 sheet of nice printmaking paper. I tested the pressing of a
debossed area (7 x 9 )on a slightly dampened sheet with an edge-angled piece
of matboard which adds an intaglio like quality to the overall sheet. My
piezo will mount inside the debossed area. I may be asking for trouble from
traditionalists... 
Oh well. So, I'm hoping the image quality makes up for it...

Thanks in advance.
