Archival drymounting? Good? Bad? Ive heard that its reversable but 'archival' 'reversable' and 'drymounting' just dont sit well with me. Seems like its too good to be true

That is the very definition of drymounted. It's usually permanent, They do make "reversible" archival drymount tissue, but I've never seen a piece come up without being completely destroyed in the process.

^ Completely destroyed is probably slightly exaggerated, but pretty much.
