The Instructions to Use Movie Film Splicing Tape
- 1). Wipe off the broken ends of the film with the silicone cloth.
- 2). Lay the broken film on the splice block, with the broken ends placed together and the sprockets looped over the pins on the block. Be sure that the size of the splice block corresponds to the size of the film that you are splicing together.
- 3). Place pieces of painter's tape on either end of the film (two or three inches from the break) to hold it to the splice block.
- 4). Peel the backing off one piece of splicing tape. Line the holes up with the pins on the block and press it down evenly (adhesive side down) across the break in the film.
- 5). Remove the painter's tape. Carefully lift up the film and turn it over. Slide the holes back over the pins in the block with the opposite side facing up. Replace the painter's tape where it was before.
- 6). Peel the backing off a second piece of splice tape, and press it down evenly across the break as in Step 4.
- 7). Carefully remove the film from the splice block. Press the tape down again with your fingers or the rounded end of a screwdriver or other tool.
