Has anybody here used these products i have a super 8 version it cuts the film on both ends then you run ench end through a small motorised ginder that roughs up each end of the film then you add cement, then bring down the handle which presses the two ends together, and presto you have a professional looking splice does any body here have a 16 mm version does it work the same way?

Jim,
Indeed,I have one of these splicers and very good they are too.Obviously using a good film cement will help but the best thing is the joint overlap is minimal.This gives you literally a 'click' free joint on magnetic track.Once you have mastered the splicer,its speed will delight you.One of my all time favourites and the one I pick up first!

Barry,

Never having used cement splicing can you recommend a "good quality" brand of cement?

B&Q do a reasonable cement in 5kg packs. Just add water, mix and you'll be putting up a wall in no time.

Check out The Widescreen Centre or Bristol Cine Sales.Topping good stuff too!
REMEMBER THOUGH FILM CEMENT WILL NOT JOIN POLYESTER BASED FILMSTOCK,you will have to use splicing tape and an appropriate splicer.
