Hello Frameworkers, I have a 16mm hot splicer (Maier-Hancock, like this one on YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr8T8f2RaWI>) that I got for free many years ago and never used. Now, I need to cement splice some of my negative together for a digitizing session. I am not sure whether my splicer is working correctly. How hot will it get before it is ready to splice? Mine heats up but doesn't get very hot and in my first attempts at splicing it didn't work. This could be because it the splicer isn't hot enough or due to my lack of experience. There are several splicers on eBay and I don't mind purchasing another if I need to. Does anyone in the Seattle area have one they would let me use?
As always, many thanks for your help. CC Caryn Cline Experimental Filmmaker & Teacher vimeo.com/carynyc film still from "Hand-made" (2016)
