John/Julie,

I'm interested in the adhesive you mention below.  Did you buy the $499 
applicator from Light Impressions, or use the included plastic 
squeegee?  Also, the last time I checked out adhesion, I could find no 
archival, pressure-sensitive (no-heat) adhesives.  I assume this stuff 
is different?

Thanks,
Vic

I've been curious about the adhesive used in the "Xyron" system (xyron.com) - it's a cold-mounting process, and they claim archival adhesive, and list photo mounting as one of the uses of their system. The machine that can handle 8x10 is $100ish, the bigger ones are substantially more. Looks like the adhesive itself costs about .75 per 8x10.
