dry mounting

[pogo]

I use dry mount tissue on most mounting projects, but i have several multi opening jobs coming up,20 to 25 per mat. The dry mounting will be a pain. I thought i might try heat activated foamcore instead of tissue. Never have used it. Any tips and or insight would help.

I've had good luck with thermocoat. Make sure you order boards in multiples of two. This keeps from exposing the wrong side of a sheet to something other than the release paper during shipment.

We have had great success selling Bienfang/Hunt/Seal Single Step foam board and our customers love it. It has a much shorter dwell time in the heat press than does drymounting tissue. We have a major customer with multiple stores that drymounts exclusively with Single Step using a Seal 400 D Heat Roller press. You can do a 24 by 36 drymount through the rollers in 2 minutes start to finish. If you wanted you could drymount and laminate it at the same time with a roller press.

Customers who use it say they will never go back to cutting up rolled tissue, and trying to keep reasonable sized scraps of tissue in an organized fashion.
