It seems to dry mount OK, but I'm still looking for a bright white dry mount
tissue to use with it.

Transvel is available in different weights and a while back I got samples of
them. They all print palladium nicely with rich blacks. The heavy grade
vellum looks so good when you take it out of the box, but I found it
impossible to end up with a smooth print. No matter what I tried it would
always dry wavy and uneven. Actually the thinner the vellum the easier it is
for me to dry it to a flat and smooth surface.
ANy tricks that I have not tried?
