8" x 10" Dry Mount Tissue Sheets - 1000/Case

These 8" x 10" Dry Mount Tissue Sheets are safe for non-archival mounting applications.

Dry Mounting is the use of a dry tissue adhesive that is activated by heat from a heat press or an iron to bond artwork or a piece of fabric to a mounting board. The tissue is placed between the object to be mounted and the board. A high temperature is used to liquefy the tissue. Depending on the type of tissue used, the bonding occurs in the press or after removal. Dry Mounting is designed to mount to bond paper, photographs, digital prints and more, to paper based substrates like foam board, card stock and even wood.

Permanent bonding, breathable dry mount tissue, the ability to breath allows non porous images to be mounted smoothly and professionally. This tissue is coated on both sides with a heat activated adhesive that bonds as it heats. This permanent heat activated tissue is placed between the paper and the mounting board and then put into a dry mount press. The press applies heat and pressure which binds the paper to the board.

Application Specifications:

• Recommended Press Temperature: Mechanical Press - 190 to 200° F / Vacuum Press - 175 to 200° F
• Recommended Time in Press: Mechanical Press - 1 to 2 Minutes / Vacuum Press - 3 to 4 Minutes
• Bond: Permanent
• Base Material: Breathable Paper

Recommended temperatures and dwell times are guildlines. You should adapt them based on your own experience and conditions of the press. The best combination of heat and dwell time could vary based on the substrate, size and humitity. As a general rule, it is best to increase dwell time before increasing temperature.
