DEAR LIST,
            I just received a bottle of Beacon Adhesives™ Fabri-Tac™
permanent adhesive.  It claims “Acid and lignin free”.
            I would never use it for prints as I use either hinges or
corners and never anything permanent to hold a print behind a window matte. 
But I have always wondered what I might use in the same “framing
environment” (within the frame, under the glass, on the edges of the window
or back matte, etc) as a print that would neither leach nor outgas chems
that might affect the permanence of a print.  
            Do any of you know anything about this product?  Is it safe to
use in the framing environment of a print?
                        CHEERS FROM BARBADOS!
