I guess I'd better clarify what I meant.  When I got the package of Albions I
read somewhere that I should wash the oils off of them and dry them off
before I use them.  That seemed like too much work so I didn't bother.  Then
I had trouble at first getting the slots open to fit the chips in.  I got
used to that though.  I wasn't sure where to put the tape to hold the chips
in place (I decided to used them to hold the chips to the backside of the
slots).  
I guess my greatest concern was what to do with them after I mount them.
I used the fold over cardboard covers, and they do not lay flat.  They hang
up on themselves when I try to stack them.  Do you have a suggestion as what
to use instead or how to use the cardboard foldovers better.  How would I use
glass in conjunction with the Albions?
I still need to use the rest of my batch of albions.  

The slip in cardboard mounts are by far the easiest.  I cut the chips a
little narrow so I have room to adjust them once they're in place.  There
seems to be enough kinetic friction to hold them in place.  If only they
could be projectable!

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

P.S. Is there such a thing as a mount guage for half frame pictures?
