...I'm coming in "late" to this thread, but GREAT idea regarding the
"foamcore" type product, but beware it has a tendency to crush under the
pressure of a cold-mount 3M roller machine (using 3M # 368 I believe)..
I've been HOT mounting my Generations Color and MIS VM EAM, Brightcube
and Legion Photo Matte " prints with a SEAL 210 and Seal low temperature
"Colormount" tissue for a couple of years with NO ill effects..
