RE: Dry mounting

DEAR DAN,
            Ooops, I guess I was snowed by an “expert”. I thought it was
more difficult than that.
                                    CHEERS!

Subject: RE: Dry mounting

Can't guarantee it'll work with every type of mount tissue but soaking the
print/board in a cake pan of acetone (with excess board trimmed and away
from open flame) works like a charm. The acetone (photographically inert)
dissolves the adhesive in the tissue and the print pops free in a few
minutes. The acetone evaporates completely in short order and the print can
then be rematted. Of course, if the signature is on the "old" mat, that's an
issue hard to resolve. Don't try this with a plastic tray unless you like
watching bubble gum during creation.

Hope this helps,

Dan

It is VERY expensive, difficult, and, if not done by a serious pro,
potentially dangerous for the print.
