Now that we know where we can purchase sound stipe to put on our film does any one know where we can get Adhesive suitable for capillary action to put our stipe on with also a cleaning agent for cleaning the film before applying the stripe. Alex Fox

For Weberling machines, stripe cement is a mixture of 1-4 dioxane and acetone, both common solvents. For transfer-wheel stripers, some cellulose acetate is dissolved in the cement to make it thicker so it stays on the transfer wheel. Proportions have been given on 8mm filmshooting forum several times. Search the archives.

Film should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol - at least twice. If it has been coated with some horrible goo masquerading as film lubricant, clean it at least three times.

Sound stripe turns up on Ebay from time to time, Classic Home Cinema have also sold it. The best is probably Agfa F5, Orwo is also OK. Wittner in Germany list it, too.
