[Digital BW] Re: Mounting?

2006-01-02 by kenseidman

Phil,

Thanks for the info.  I notice that 3M makes several Adhesive Sprays
http://www.framingsupplies.com/3M/InformationAdhesiveSprays.htm


Options so far are:
1.  3M Vac-U-Mount (or something similar, e.g. PhotoMount?) w/hand roller
2.  Dry mount print in sections
3.  Gudy 831 Cold-Mounting Adhesive (see my earlier post)
4.  32 x 40 inch plexiglass to perhaps flatten out ripples

Ken
