re: Scotch 811 hinges
They are hinges, not mounts, so any comparison is relative. Also how you remove a hinge is a trick you learn, whatever hinge you use!![811 811](https://www.kurogaze.top/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Batch-One-Piece-Episode-841-850-Sub-Indo-500x285.jpg)
I have been using them for over 5 years, and I still swear by them...but each one his own! They are still for my mind good for temporary use. I would never use hinges on any stamp...of any formulation... but I do make use of these as a substitute.
As far as residue is concerned, I noticed occasional on and off issues with changes in 3M's formulation over time, but if there is any residue at all it is very minor, and just rubs off with a stroke of the fingers. Often wondered if it was temperature dependant? Don't know.
Also, the latest batch of 811 tape is significantly thinner than before, so I have had hinges break...but then you just peel off the broken piece! I also found out that you can easily re-use them.
So again, I think it is a personal choice. I would really like a scientific and definitive pronouncement by the APS. But I find them in use in collections and displays, and I am still a fan, using them for extended (now as much as 5 years) but temporary use. Ideally all my stamps will be in mounts.

Well Jim, you were warned about the use of 811 on older porous paper stamps:
'While early versions of the tape left a (minor and occasional) slight residue after a few years...residue that rubbed off very easily, like a eraser residue, by rubbing the back with your finger, my experience with the latest version is 100% positive. It seem completely harmless, leaves no residue (tested for almost 5 years now) and peels easily. This works perfectly on gummed stamps, leaving no mark on MNH, so you can mount your MNH (or M stamps) with no degradation to the stamp, you can move them around, and I even use them on all my mounts now, so all my mounts are affixed using 811 tape!
Note that it is a bit more tricky on used stamps, especially on porous heavy paper grain used stamps....as it can adhere to the fiber if one does not pay attention, but 99% of used stamps cause no problem. The trick (you will learn it quickly after a few errors..lol) is to peel the Scotch 811 'hinge' by lifting gently from a corner and slowly peeling it off at a diagonal...works like a charm...as well as the old removable hinges..but leaving no mark!'
