"Spray Mount is not particularly archival, either. Prints mounted with it have a tendency to bubble over time, and the adhesive hardens, making it nigh to impossible to remove the print from the backing."

Mounting photos on wood or masonite
Any suggestions for how to glue or mount photos to wood or masonite backing. My wife and I do photography and fused glass, we are going to try and incorporate the two by mounting a photo on a hard backing and then placing fused glass pices around the photo for a "frame" effect.Also, any ideas for what we could use to "coat" the pictures with to provide some kind of protection for them? thanks,DwayneDC Photo and Art See More

"Hey Jim I was just wondering why you feel like the Carbonite system is to slow ,I was under the understanding that once you were uploaded it uploaded everything everyday. Keeping all your photos protected .
Thanks randall"

"I agree with Jim!"
Jim Parker replied to Dwayne Flake's discussion Online Backup in the group Photographers Darkroom
"No. Way too Slow for the amount of data I backup (100's of Gb). A better solution is to rotate three sets of hard drives, and store one offsite."

Robert M. Wallis replied to Dwayne Flake's discussion Foamcore mounting in the group Photographers Darkroom
"Spray adhesive or the sheets? The spray adhesive is a good way to ruin prints. The stuff has a nasty tendency to bubble up in hot weather and the bubbles can't be flattened out. I used both the Scotch 77 and the Photomount spray and neither one…"

"Sounds like it's a Mpix issue,
I use Scotch photo mount. Acid free adhesive. I've never had any problems."
Larry Berman replied to Dwayne Flake's discussion Foamcore mounting in the group Photographers Darkroom
"Why not loose prints with foam core backing in Impact bags? There's no reason to mount and some people would prefer to take a print to a custom framer for archival framing which includes hinging with acid free framers tape.Larry…"
