I always tack the tissue to the center of the print and then trim the print. After I cut the hole in the mat, I line up the print in the hole and use some shot bags to hold the print in place. I usually tack one corner of the print to the mounting board. Then the print and the mouning board go into the press. I sandwich the print and the mounting board between 2 clean mat boards and carefully close the press. I let the heater get to about 200f before I start the whole process.

Using the method of cutting the overmat larger than the print then eyeballing the print into place is easier than trying to get those corners aligned.mark said:Just a question-Why don't you folks do the sticky corners? It is a hell of lot easier to get things straight.
