What's available to mount color prints that I can use at home? I want to mount them on acid-free museum board. I've heard of three types.
One is a 3M Scotch liquid adhesive that comes in an aerosol can which can be spr ayed onto the back of the print. (No heat involved.) A second type comes in sh eet form with adhesive on both sides that is pressure sensitive. (Also no heat involved.) The third type is standard dry-mounting tissue, except that the temp erature level needed isn't high enough to damage the color print. (I have a dry mount press.)
What's the best, that will have the least effect on the lifespan of the photogra ph? While the photograph I want to mount is printed on Kodak paper from a color negative, it would be nice if whatever I get is also capable of mounting Fuji r -type prints from transparencies.
