Kodak No. 2 Folding Pocket Brownie - p-56

PART VI
Mounting
The most satisfactory method for mounting
prints is ey the use of Kodak Dry Mounting
Tissue, as by the use of this tissue the print lies
perfectly flat in absolute contact even on the
thinnest mount and absolutely without curl.
The tissue comes in flat sheets, dry, not sticky,
and easy to handle and being water proof pro-
tects the print from any impurities in the mount
stock. The process of mounting is as follows:
Lay the print on its face and tack to the back
a piece of the tissue of the same size by ap-
plying the point of a hot flatiron to small
spots at opposite ends. Turn the print face up
and trim to size desired, then place in proper
position on mount and cover the print with a
piece of smooth paper and press the whole
surface with a hot flatiron. Press, don't rub.
The iron should be just hot enough to siss when
touched with the wet finger. If the iron is too
hot the tissue will stick to the mount and not to
the print, if too cold the tissue will stick to the
print and not to the mount.
Remedy: Lower or raise the temperature of
the iron and apply again.
When mounting with the ordinary paste, prints
should be mounted wet. After the prints have
been trimmed to correct size, immerse in clean
water for a few moments, then place in a pile
face down on a sheet of clean glass and squeegee
