Not to worry. There are "mounting fluids" (Camey fluid? sp?) now that are
not oil at all. In fact, the type I know of essentially evaporates once the
trans is pulled from the mylar and is fanned in the air momentarily. As far
as I know this fluid is totally non-destructive to the trans. Of course, the
carboard slide mount will get destroyed but it can be put back into a
plastic mount.
Contact me off-list if you'd like to be put in touch with a prepress shop
that uses this method for mounting on a Hell 3000 series drum scanner.
They've also profiled the scanner and are embedding the scanner profile in
the image.
