I don't really understand - you find dry mounted prints curl? Do you 
mean the glue doesn't take properly and the print curls off the 
mounting board, or is it that the mounting board itself curls?

I still have prints that I dry mounted as a student - twenty(!) years 
ago - and they haven't curled at all.

Since I spent too many hours in a studio as a youngster spray-mounting 
prints, I find the sight and smell of the stuff makes me queasy!
