Topic: Some help with sheet film

[sapata]

So last Christmas I gave myself this nice Voigtlander 6.5 x 9.0 cm  plate camera  that I've been meaning to use since. I tried to buy the roll film back on ebay but no lucky so far ( by the way if anyone have one to sell I'm quite interested in buying..)

In the mean time I was told that I could get some sheet film and use with the plate holders so I bought this pack with 25 sheets and I'm intending to use them somehow.  I heard few people using honey to glue the film into a cardboard in order to fit ...  has anyone tried this film before that could share the experience ?

Many thanks !

I know I wouldn't use honey (unless you plan on getting really kinky with that plate holder ) but I guess you're probably thinking about bee wax. For some odd reason, I'd be more tempted to use black core foamcore and post-it tape. Less mess and less trouble.

Thanks Francois...

The thing with the honey,  or Pritt glue as someone mentioned as well it's because is easily washed inside the developing tank. The tape might make a mess when inserting in the hangers... I don't know...
