Source of Archival Acid-Free Tape
By Tom Detweiler

Yes, Mark, but where in the world does one _go_ to buy archival acid-
free tape?

I have some old artwork I want to dry mount on matte board and have
been trying to find this mystery tape for almost a year now.  _None_
of the major art supply or framing places have it, and most art supply
store clerks don't even have the slightest idea what it is I'm even
talking about when I ask them for it!

I also remember the old "dry-mount" tape which used heat (an iron) to
melt it in place and bind two materials together -- I can't find that
either. Any referrals to an on-line distributor of these materials
would be most welcome.

Thank you
Tom Detweiler
