When I took in a roll recently the girl told me that they
couldn't mount it either because they couldn't cut it. Then
she asked someone in back and they said that they could hand
cut it. Whatever they did, it got mounted.
I haven't tried mounting the E-6 stuff, but the E-4 stuff
was tough and would stretch.

P.S. Should EIR be taken to a lab in a canister marked "open
in dark", or will it be OK without. Does light (IR) wick
through the leader or through the light trap felt?
