Gelatin over-coating of inkjet prints

As an aside...

what would Louis Daguerre say about all this…

Well , you learn something every day here , I have never heard of this with fibre based paper , and you are right I will not try it as my methods are working well.

Bob - wet mounting has been a standard technique for a century. Some framing shops
specialize in it. It is really quite easy once you get the knack for it. But it does carry
the risk of ruining everything with one misplaced splat! Not even remotely as much
trouble or risk as cold mounting with high-pressure rollers, however. In fact, it's a lot easier than laying down Formica, which I have no trouble with personally. Just another option. Drymounting is certainly the most convenient and lowest-risk option for fiber-based photographs, but has its own distinct learning curve. I wouldn't switch if drymounting is already working well for you.

Sandy,

The thread height is actually half of .019" :-)

Leon,

Thanks. I see what you mean.

In fact the method I used to calculate thread height turns out to be totally off base. I assume it would work because a fellow at one of the leading nuts and bolts places in the country told me how to figure thread height, but his advice turned out to be totally wrong. For example, when I did the calculations for a 1-8 stainless steel rod the figures indicated a thread height of 0.0225", which is less than 0.5 mm. When I actually measure the thread height of a 1-8 rod the thread height was 1.8 mm.

So I am back to home plate on how to determine rod thread height. Only way that works for sure is to measure a real rod.
