I have tried mounting with lint-free cotton gloves. Years ago when working
with 16mm film we would cut the right thumb and index finger out of the
gloves (I'm right handed), you can handle the edges with bare finger/thumb
and the entire photo with the left hand. This works pretty well for slides,
also works well for prints.

Now I go gloveless and use curved, pointed tweezers. The curved surface
allows me to press the chips into the registers of the RBT mounts, and then
I can easily slide the register bars for horizontal adjustment with the
pointed tip of the tweezers. Works great, my hands never touch the slides.
