Eco Sprays (was Another Silver Rag Review)

No, I have not done much in that area lately.  I'll be spraying a large RC
print with solvent based Print Shield today, as a matter of fact -- not my
favorite task. 

I did spray a Silver Rag with the solvent Print Shield and observed almost
no change in looks.  As usually, however, it did protect it from finger
prints, etc.  

The Silver Rag does pretty well with no spray at all, which is where I'd
like to be with the vast majority of what I do -- matte or "glossy."  

I'm also hoping SR's rather stiff base will allow me to avoid dry mounting
it.  So far, I think it might be able to.  If the paper stays flat and an
Eco spray gives the protection that I think it might, the possibilities for
non-glazed display may look inviting again.
