Re: dry mount tissue removal

[Don Roberts <droberts@xxxxxxxx>]

Emily, try a product called Un-du.  It is an adhesive remover that 
works well for most adhesives and will not damage prints.  Since RC 
doesn't really absorb the adhesive from the tissue it might work. 
It may require repeated soakings and scrapings but it just might do 
the trick.  I use it frequently for other similar applications.
