There's only a risk if they screw it up, so you have to find the right people for the job. I do however see your point regarding purists.

Dibond is the backing, it's a composite made of aluminium and plastic so it's very study. You can repair scratches in liquid gloss by reheating it, although I wouldn't attempt that myself.

And just for reference: "The Diasec prints are used by some photographers to present their work. Andreas Gursky mounted "99 Cent II Diptychon", the most expensive photograph ever, on acrylic glass, probably with the Diasec process."
You have a Dark Horse Liara litho? If so, you're one of only 3 or 4 people that I know of that have it. I have one too.

And hats off to you for having it mounted using this Dibond method. Very courageous move indeed. I know I could never bring myself to have mine perma-mounted.
