Photographic Dry Mounting Tacking Iron

Photographic Dry Mounting Tacking Iron is a tool used in the process of dry mounting photographs. Dry mounting is a technique used to permanently adhere a photograph to a mounting board or substrate without the use of liquid adhesives.

The tacking iron is specifically designed for dry mounting and is used to activate the adhesive on the mounting tissue or film. It typically has a flat, heated surface that is used to apply heat and pressure to the photograph and mounting material, ensuring a secure and long-lasting bond.

The tacking iron is an essential tool in the photographic developing and finishing process, as it allows photographers to mount their prints professionally and securely. It is commonly used in professional photography studios, print labs, and by photographers who prefer to mount their own prints.

When using a tacking iron, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines to ensure proper usage and to avoid damaging the photograph or mounting material.
