One of the slickest, easiest ways of mounting photographs, prints
and other art to back boards, is by a process we call dry mounting.
I dare you to try this out and not want to use our method over
and over. You will find this to be the neatest way of mounting
photos, art, newspaper clippings, children's art, magazine pages,
anything made of light weight paper. This method is so neat that
once you try it you will absolutely love it!
Dry mounting makes the art always stay perfectly flat. Now you
can mount works of art using our dry mounting adhesive. No machine
is required ! Give this method just one try, you will not regret
it!

What is dry mount adhesive? The dry mounting adhesive we sell is
a thin sheet of paper covered with a very thin layer of strong glue.
To use, you cut this sheet of paper slightly larger than the art
you want to mount. Then lay the sheet of paper, glue side down on
a mount board of your choice, such as mat boards, mount boards,
foam core board, or any other smooth sheet. Then you use the special
dry mounting squeegee and burnish the glue down to the board as
shown above under burnishing. (It takes the special dry mounting
squeegee we sell, other kinds such as found in automotive stores
do not work well and can ruin your art.)
After burnishing the glue down, peel the paper off the mount board
slowly and you will find the glue left laying nice and smooth on
the backboard. Now take your art and lay it on top of the glue (face
side up of course) . Then lay the special dry mount release paper
(supplied) over the top of the art and again using the squeegee
burnish the art down onto the glue. You don't have to over do this,
the glue sets up even stronger after a couple of hours. After burnishing
the art, lift off the special release paper and presto, your art
is nicely dry mounted ! Then you can trim around your art or photo
with a sharp knife.
Once tried, you will never be with out our dry mount adhesive!
It works great to mount your photographs.
Our dry mounting adhesive is sold in 4 foot rolls and the special
release paper is provided. The release paper is used over and over,
don't throw it away until you have used up all your dry mounting
adhesive. The dry mounting squeegee is NOT supplied. You must order
that separately. We do this because you don't need a new one every
time. The squeegee will last you a very long time for many rolls
so save it. We strongly recommend you purchase this squeegee. I
have tried lots of others and they don't work well, take my word
for it. Depending on the size, you can do lots of pictures with
each 4 foot roll.
