substance to mix it with. Now I'll be forced to find out where I got the

info. from (probably the series of archival articles printed in S.W.

several years ago - which I have but couldn't track down today). Any of

you have the reference? I haven't used the stuff (yet) but may be forced

to do so soon since Grand Photo went out of the two-on-one-card business--


David Lee's suggestion for using 3M Positionable Mounting Adhesive =23 568 =
is the best because it is the easiest to work with.  However, it does not s=

s.  It is called wheat starch, Aytex P, packed and distributed by Talas.  M=
ix it with distilled water.  It has proven to be archival because Japanese =
prints and drawings over 500 years old glued to backing with it have stood =
the test of time with zero image detrerioration because of the adhesive.  T=
hey used rice paper also which has been proven to be 100 per cent archival.=
