While this is a good method and it works well it violates one of the 
main reason I use Spicer mounts - one mount one method. If you 
use Gary's method then your image is forever left in that glass 
mount or it will have to be removed and remounted. All I have to do 
is slide the image out of the EMDE binder and it is back to normal 
and indistinguisable from all my other mounts. When I choose a 
new image to submit to an exhibition all I have to do is select one 
from my collection, slip it in the binder and send it off. I don't have to 
decide at the time of mounting whether I will ever want to submit this 
image later and mount it differently, and I don't have to remount it 
later when I do decide.

Everyone should realize by now the problems with projecting a 
series of images that are in a mix of different mounts: all that 
projector manipulation.

So once again - one mount one method - it works (for me).

That's all for now,
