John,

Dry mounting is generally a "non-reversible" and therefore non-archival
action. Since Pt/Pd prints lie perfectly flat (with most papers) I can't
think of any benefit to dry mounting. The paper a Pt/Pd print is on can
often be part of the aesthetic experience, which will only be lessened
by mounting. Some tissue prints may sometimes be an exception to this.
Just use corners or a piece of archival tape (one small piece will do)
to hold the print in place on the backing board under the mat.---Carl
