RE: pt/pd mounting
I usually do straight too (actually, I don't remember
coating a single Pt/Pd print with PU - except for the test strip. I use this
method with Vandykes and Argyrotypes). But there could be occasions (subjective)
where one would use PU coatings for sure...

Probably not so in your case, but sometimes people do things to prints to the point where the print begins to not look like what it really is and the print loses some of those qualities that we strive for in the first place.

[Surprised] - You don't have much paper choices with S/G but you can choosemanydifferent papers for Pt/Pd based on a wider criteria / choices of texture, color, weight... - Coating the print with PU doesn't necessarily imply removing / undermatting the brushed edges - Once finely calibrated, making a fine Pt/Pd print (at least having a print which is exactly you've imagined) is considerably easy from making a fine S/G print. (That is in the case of using digital negatives of couse.) - S/G is too sharp for digital negatives (at least for inkjet negatives). ...and it's still not quite the same thing since the image is in the paper fiber not over it. Coating the print with a glossy finish doesn't make it look exactly like a S/G print. Hope this helps. Regards, Loris.
