Re: archival adhesive for cyanotype?

["graeme.lyall" <graeme.lyall@virgin.net>]

I would also be interested in any ideas on this.  Would PVA be safe?  It has 
good archival properties and there is a reversible form which delaminates in 
water if the need should arise.  I don't know about any effects it may have 
on the image, though.
