Very direct instructions as well as EXACTLY the INFORMATION I needed. SUPER helpful. Much appreciated as I digitize my families 8mm (long lost) films saved for more than HALF A CENTURY!! Thank you so very much!
I started using Super Glue because I couldn't use the cement on polyester-base film which most of my S8mm films are. Super Glue works on both types of film. I demonstrated both methods because of many requests and questions on how to do it. I always think it's good to have options....then picks what's works best for you. I use Presstapes at times too.
I have a spliter that I found in an old house years ago. I didn't know what it was at first but I knew it had to do something with film. Thanks, now I know what it really is and how to use it !
Hi I started off with the quick splicers. These as you may know butt join the film together which last for 4 frames. This can be annoying as the perfs on the tape don’t always line up. Then I used Cement splicers but you have this 1 frame with a scrapped up line in it and they can break For a long time now I have used CIR units. These are the last word in splicers, trust me! Google CIR GUILLOTINE SUPER 8 SPLICER. I have given you a thumbs up on this as I think that you prry well have it spot on
Thanks a lot. Excuse my bad english. I treat the 2 faces and i put cinecol agfa on the 2 faces. Notice sold with the king was so bad !!!. You helped me a lot.
Another great video, though I'm not fond of the idea of using superglue for splicing. Most film cement is mainly acetone, which may be bought at a paint store; though it does not work as well as real cement. (Even nail-polish remover might work in a pinch!) Cement will not splice polyester-base film; though I'm curious if superglue might. Have you tried it? Please keep up your wonderful work.
I'm not sure if I know what you mean by multi-purpose cement. Film cement is acetone based and will only work with acetate film. You can always try it and if it works for you....terrific! Just be careful that the cement is not too thick and that it is contained between the small area of the join. You do not want cement leaking out and transferring to your film gate.
Have just been given all the old 8mm movies! Great video

I have an LPL splicer - now I know how to use it! Thanks
Great tutorial!
Excellent educational video easy to follow. Many thanks.
Great video! I got one of these but had no idea how to use it! Thanks for your video!
Where did you ever find that handy-dandy little trimmer for the film end??
Cool, thanks. Best video I found on this. Great to clarify that I can use superglue also :)
Very good.

Awesome!

Could you use multi-purpose cement? Because I don't know if there's a difference between film cement and multi-purpose cement.

Okay. Thanks!
