[Frameworks] 35mm / 16mm hot splicer question

[Scott Stark]

Thankd Jeff, will try that. Any idea on how to 
align the two film strips without the pins? The 
16mm seems to be the only one on the right; there 
are two other holes on the left that might 
produce pins once it's unglued. Or are 35mm pros 
so expert they don't need pins?

thanks
Scott
