Jon Taala Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I heard from a little birdie that Kodak film cement has recently been discontinued? Does anyone know if this is real and can anyone confirm this? I guess this means the end of negative cutting and cement splicing huh... Unless there is another company that makes film cement that I'm unaware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Bill DiPietra Posted August 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 Where'd you hear that?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Taala Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 I heard from a seller that I usually buy my film cement from online. I don't know who to contact to find out if its really true or not, so i thought I'd go on this forum. I figure there has to be someone out there that knows better thank I do.

Premium Member Bill DiPietra Posted August 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 Interesting. Nothing on the Kodak discontinued listings yet, but that doesn't mean anything. It might show up in the September listings if it winds up being true. I just contacted a negative cutter I know about it. If hear anything from him, I'll post it.

Dirk DeJonghe Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You don't need Kodak to make film cement, several formulas are online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Bill DiPietra Posted August 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 Just heard back from my guy and he stated he'd just gotten off the phone with Kodak and they apparently said they had no plans to discontinue the cement for negative cutting. But Dirk is correct in that there are other cement mixes that can be used. I think you can find them on the Urbanski Film website amongst others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk DeJonghe Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 We use about one can of film cement per year. Kodak insists on selling us 10 cans per order because of hazmat shipping they say. Somewhere I have the Agfa formula for film cement and there are many online too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
