Re: problems affixing Masa to support



Keith,

Would dry mount tissue work?

Thanks, Dave.  That's a good idea, as I'm not getting anywhere with the 3M adhesive route.  I have since found Loris' detailed instructions for lowering the sticky support onto the paper.  This works pretty good!  But I've found that the paper, once fixed to the support, still develops ripples when it is sized with gelatin.  So, I'm thinking it needs to be pre-shrunk, which appears will introduce all kinds of distortions into the dried paper anyway.  So wet is the way to go.  These Masa pieces are pretty large.  Not as large as wallpaper, but pretty near.
