Simply place your print face-down on the adhesive side and run through a dry mount press or heat roller — no separate mounting tissue, spray adhesives, or additional preparation steps required. The heat and pressure of the press activates the adhesive, creating an extremely flat, smooth, permanent bond every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003e3\/16\"\u003c\/strong\u003e thickness in \u003cstrong\u003e24\" × 36\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e32\" × 40\"\u003c\/strong\u003e sheets.
