Realist format - good for most standard stereo cameras (not only Realist but also Kodak, Revere, TDC, etc)
These mounts have advantages over the 'standard' heat-seal mounts:
Alignment register for mounting quickly and accurately: First place the film chips (face down) into the two "film well" cutouts. Then push the film chips against the top or bottom edge of the film well to set the vertical alignment. The film well cutouts are wider than the standard width of a Realist-format (5P) image, allowing full control of the stereo window by simply sliding the chips left or right. Secure each chip with adhesive of your choice.
High quality card stock—fewer distracting paper dust than some other cardboard mounts.
Special inside layer—medium grey inside layer is film-friendly (pH neutral) and provides improved opacity (light-blocking) compared to other mounts.
Spotting dot—printed in the lower left corner (as oriented for hand viewing), makes the mounting process even faster and more convenient. No more red dot labels that dry out and drop off.
Conveniently packaged—Handy boxes, 60 mounts per box. Most realist format (5P) stereo cameras produce 29 image pairs per 36 exposure roll of film. Simply order one box of mounts per two rolls of film. And if you are a "selective" photographer, keeping only 10 pictures per roll (as I used to do with my Realist) then one box will last for 6 rolls!
- To finish the self-stick mount, peel off the release paper to reveal the adhesive, fold, and press closed. For a quick-and-easy solid seal, place a heavy weight on top of the mounted slide while you work on the next image.
