Dry Mounted, by jipsy on Nov 21, 2007 18:02:37 GMT 1, Is there any going back after dry mounting or is it the end?
I have dry mounted print (who shall remain nameless) and would like to know if there exists a process of returing it to it' former self.

Depends how its been done gypsy, the only real way to know is to get it to a specialist and see what they say ( if you know who did it, thet might be worth contacting too, to ask which processes were used. Good luck with it but its often a print fuck er |

leave it, it can usually be well hidden and framed it should look perfectly fine. the problem is long term damage to the paper and therefore the print itself. also if selling be prepared to sell way below market price, i would not lose sleep over a cheapish print that could easily be replaced but something valuable and/or scarce i wouldn't touch with a shitty stick.
