Thank you very much for your responses. I have asked Drytac about flobond.

The Drytac europe commercial warns me that Flobond and Trimount are hot-mount adhesives and do not adhere to aluminum. He recommends using a generic double-sided cold adhesive (Mediatac). I have no hope that it will work, but I will try it.
A former Rijksmuseum restorer has recommended that I try this assembly: https://www.researchgate.net/publica...eas_en_el_MoMA
I'll give it a try and post the results to the group, but I doubt that mount would have enough strength to hold fiber paper perfectly flat.
Kind regards,

There is a hot material that is used , flobond, it may be a Mactac product or Drytac , you may try contacting any large lab in Europe that are working with large silver gelatin prints , they will indeed be using a product similar. It has been 10 years since I used this product and I can assure you it worked. A lot of salespeople have no idea on this issue, you may have been talking with an person without this knowledge.

I just got off the line with a lab I would use in NY for very large silver gelatin prints bigger than what I can do here is what they do now.

( For mounting, we always mount fiber prints to museum board first and then to aluminum or dibond, we find that mounting directly to the metal doesn’t last very long. Dibond is usually best as it’s lighter and cheaper, but we can do aluminum for anything larger than the dibond sheets. I’m attaching price lists for analog printing as well as mounting to museum board and dibond for reference.)

Makes a lot of sense and I would do this way now for my 30 x40s
