Thanks Paul for this useful tip!  Turns your friction-based
Hama to sprocket-based (like the Realist).  Useful for any
mount but particularly critical with the heat seal mounts.

At first I did not understand this.  Upon further thought, it
means "flatten out the alignment tabs *of your heat seal
cardboard mounts*".  You need to flatten the outside tabs
because the chips will need to be separated more (pulled
further apart).
