It's an idea to keep in mind if you ever have the opportunity to go back and try
to scan those old 110 negatives again ... or find you need to scan more old
negatives some time in the future.
A piece of "construction paper" (any paper slightly thicker than the negative)
with a cutout might work to make the job less frustrating. Position it on the
scanner bed, lay the negative in the hole and place the glass on top to flatten
the negative.
I have the Epson V750 scanner with the wet mount system, but I looked up
Godfrey's ANR glass. Looks like it might be less hassle than the wet mount.
I bookmarked the page so I can go back and get that glass for my scanner if I
need to ...

Nice idea John - I did try something similar, but the negatives had curled
so much during poor storage in a humid sub-tropical location I still ran out
of time (and patience!) to get them satisfactorily scanned.

I have the Epson V500: when my mother reached her 100th. birthday in
2018, my brother and I scanned all of her negatives, ranging in size
from 1.5inches square to 6x9cm and going back in time to the 1900's.
We were unable to scan the
110 size negs as the scanner's holders can't really hold them flat
enough. The scanner did an excellent job (I have to confess we used
the Epson software for this job!) overall, even with some really flat
and mushy originals: makes me think some early cheap cameras really did
have bottle-bottoms for a lens.

When I was in school we just used a piece of glass to hold paper flat while
exposing it. I wonder if that would work to hold negatives flat on the
scanner bed?
Maybe cut out an appropriate sized hole in a piece of black construction
paper to fit the 110 negatives and hold both down with the sheet of glass?
