How to Splice Super 8 Film with Film Cement

[nzoomed]

very interesting, ive never seen how its done before, ive only ever used spicing tape, show does this go when splicing two different film bases together? For example splicing an acetate based film to a polymer base film such as mylar?

@nzoomed The cement—acetone mixed with acetate—works by dissolving the base and re-solidifying when it evaporates. If the other bases are not soluble in acetone, then I doubt they can be cemented. I'd recommend taping where possible for mixed film bases.

good presentation! a little silicone oil on your hinges seem to be called for. :)

does this work with 9.5 mm too ??

[TargoStudios]

@Njp2K9 It should be the same, but the perforations are just over 7½mm, so you'll either have to find a 9.5mm splicer or be very accurate when overlaying them by hand. Another option would be to find splicing tape with the 9.5mm perforations cut into it. This method is more robust, but you can sometimes see the tape in the projected image.

I wish you all the best with your efforts.

This has been really helpful, thanks. Did some stuff at a workshop and wanted to continue experimenting at home. Bought what I thought was a tape splicer and turn out to be a motorised cement splicer and was trying to work out how to use it. I understand how it works now, thanks.
