You can find film cement in many places on the internet.

One site selling Kodak film cement is on ebay.

If you click on this link below, you'll find a 15ml bottle for about £6.75 plus postage of £3.30

Of course there are many other sellers on the internet.

And if you're not happy with cement, I'd recommend a Fuji tape splicer which uses perforated tape to fit Super 8.
But I don't think they don't make a splicer for Standard 8mm.

I hope this information helps you.

Sorry about my mistake.

I wrote it before I woke up this morning.

What I meant to say was:

If you require any further help or advice about 8mm, or Super 8, or even 16mm, please write and let me know.
