Re: Any usable mounting sprays?

2007-10-25 by art4u2see2

I've been using 3m Vac-U-Mount Adhesive for years. Here is what 3m 
says about it:
"Formulated for use with a vacuum frame system for mounting 
lithographs, photographs, screen prints, maps, certificates, fabrics, 
and more. Bonds permanently without discoloration, cracking, or bleed 
through. Requires no heat. Ideal for mounting black and white and 
color photos quickly, easily, and permanently. Also ideal for bonding 
common art materials such as Cibachrome™ prints, resin coated (RC) 
photo papers, clay-coated papers, newsprint and fabric. Extended open 
time (up to 10 minutes) allows you to spray and bond even the largest 
materials."
You do need a vacuum table to bond it. Never have seen anyone claim 
to have seen discoloration from it.
