There are a couple of dry mounting presses on the auction site.
They're a bit far away for me to collect, but are certainly closer for you. Mike |

There were negative and positive points put forward, but no one had either bought or used one for mounting prints. I think the general consensus was that... 1. the t-shirt press might get hot enough and... 2. they look a lot flimsier than the actual solid metal presses, which are made for the purpose. Personally I got one couriered from ebay, and I couldn't believe just how heavy it was. It is now in the darkroom, where it will stay unless I hire a forklift to move it!! YES, they are that heavy.

But I rarely send bulky items via the Royal Mail now, because they can be so expensive in comparison to the newer courier firms. It's always worth doing a quick check, as the difference in prices can be astonishingly different! Terry S |

Lion Picture framing demonstrate dry mounting with Hot Press Dry mounting presses and these use thick glass to transfer the heat. It's quite possible the Presses used for T-shirts etc will work OK but you'd need to try one first, they can go way hotter than the 88º-93ºC needed for the Dry mounting tissue Lion sells. Ian |

I put my print in-between two mount boards ,my mounting press is turned up high and I press for 35seconds then I put them under a book with a weight on top ,or a big book every couple of pages I put a print ,I find a David bailey book works the best ,but you can choose your favourite photographers book
