I am looking to mount a handful of large (up to 40x60”) fiber based gelatin silver prints.

Not to revive the age old dry mounting debate, but has anyone had experience using Kool Tack products? I generally prefer to avoid foam core, but some of the framers I have visited are really pushing this Kool Tack on foam core option.

What other methods have folks used or heard of for mounting large fiber based gelatin prints?
I’ve combed this forum and others looking for good resources on how to approach this. Any suggestions for additional reading welcome.

Let me try phrasing a different way. Does anyone here have experience or thoughts on how best to mount/present gelatin silver prints at scale? What has worked for you, what are some of the factors you consider when showing large gelatin silver prints?
