P3D Melting Mounts

1) That's nice, if you can convince everyone in the world who enters PSA 
exhibitions and club competitions to use them!  {;>)

2) I think this is avoiding the problem rather than fixing it. You 
should be able to use RBT mounts in any projector, or they wouldn't be 
selling them in the first place. This appears to be a projector problem, 
not a mount problem.

3) If there is sufficient heat to melt a mount (including the white 
side), then there is the possibility of also damaging the images, no 
matter what type mount they are in (except, possibly, glass mounted 
slides).

I want to solve the problem, not go around it. Some of these images are 
irreplaceable originals (a good reason to make dupes). We have a duty to 
do the best we can to protect them (although we cannot make any 
guarantees).
