Well, maybe.  :-)

Although I have not done detailed testing yet, two other options come
to mind:
  - Place the chips on top of the heat seal layer, allowing them to
      extend beyond the cut out "register;" or
  - Slip the film chips under the heat seal layer.

I don't know which self-stick mounts David is referring to; presumably
he means the normal 5P self-stick mounts.  I don't think I had told
anyone yet, but RMM will be offering Don's half-height mount in self-
stick style with a register sized for Realist format film chips.  A few
stereo shooters have mentioned to me in the past year that they would
buy an "extra reduced height" mount, but I still expect this to be a
low volume specialty size.  Therefore, if you know you would want to
use this type of mount, please contact me off-list with your estimated
quantity requirments.  (Send to "info," not "list_post" at the rmm3d.com
domain.)
