The film I tested was broken after half a minute or so ... Is there any tape splicers for 9.5?

I tried with cement, but didn't scrape off anything, which I heard afterwards I need to do. CIR splicers are not for 9.5, are they?

Anyone have any info, please let me know

Will post some pictures of it later on

Thanks

Vidar, yes they make cir splicers for 9.5...I believe you can purchase from Wittmer, but they are pricey... For years I used an exacto blade and laid the film down on my 16mm splicer.

Before I acquired a tape splicer Vidar, in the 80’s I modified a cheap cement splicer filing down the sprocket hole registration pins for 9-5 and cutting out the attached tape sprocket hole by hand with a good art knife. It is possible to make do as I did for many years and those splices are still holding. [Cool]

Here you are, Vidar. €299.

299 for splicing and repairing my three films, is a bit too much, but thanks :-)

I will try the cement splicer again and use the "scraper" from Super 8/Regular 8 splicer I have

Vidar, there are plenty of good 9.5mm cement splicers around with built in scrapers. Many are dual 16/9.5mm. Scraping the emulsion side is essential as is using the correct cement i.e for acetate base or "universal". Ken Finch.

Different cements too? I bought some off eBay that works with my 16mm and Super 8's at least. How would I know which to use?

Vidar, If it works on your 16mm prints it will probably work on 9.5mm. Ken Finch. [Smile]

Super, and I need to check my box with the splicer, as Terry says it contains a scraper (didn't see it, but might be stuck on there somewhere :-) )

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on February 25, 2014, 04:13 PM:

It sure won't hold anything ... And didn't find a scraper with the splicer supplied :-(

I now think I have to tape it with 8mm CIR tape and try to leave the sprocket hole open

Sorry Vidar
I thought the splicer had a scraper, but obviously not. If you are looking for a good splicer with inbuilt scraper try Grahame Newnham's site. The Marguet splicer he has for sale is the best cement splicer for 9.5

Thanks, I have sent him a message

Apprecite the tip

Hi Vidar cheap option is just buy some 9.5mm cir tape and use scissors/ craft knife etc etc.

Best Mark.
