The mounts have 21x16mm openings. Though I use tape, others I have talked to use glue
sticks. Light Impressions apparently sells an archival glue stick. But do be advised
that no one has ever claimed that the cardboard mounts are archival - they are made
from "railroad board" cardboard, used because it has a nice finish and produces nice
clean cuts, but is not guaranteed to be acid-free.
