Re: Any usable mounting sprays?

2007-10-22 by john dean

I've used the 3M Spray Ment cans and they seem to hold well, but like
you I certainly wouldn't trust them for long term storage on valuable
prints. There is no telling what is in that stuff. 

I'd like to know the answer to this also. I just bought a small used
dry mount press and I would imagine many dry mount tissues are far
more reliable than any of these sprays.

Probably the most permanent and toxic free adhesive would be PVA book
binding glue, but I've never seen that chemical in a spray form that
would go on smoothly and not cause buckling of the surface with photo
papers.
