Betterscanning fluid mount and Lumina fluid?

[rustyair]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of getting a Betterscanning 4x5 fluid ONLY mount for V700 and Lumina fluid from scanscience. ( I will do non-fluid scan with the stock epson 4x5 mount) and I just want to check before I make my move.

If I order the $84.95 fluid only mount from betterscanning and 1 bottle (8 oz) of lumina $27 than I'm good to scan at least 6 of 4x5 films on the same day with my v700 or do I need something else? Can I replace the lumina fluid with a lighter fluid?

I would appreciate if you could give me some tips on fluid mount with v700, betterscanning mount and lumina fluid.

Thanks,

[Marc B.]

I think I've read almost every betterscanning mount and lumina fluid threads on this forum but could not find an answer for 'do I need something else'.

You need mylar and I believe a squeegee. Look at a fluid mount kit. They sell them on various sites. I think whoever sels lumina fluid sells the kits. Read whats in the kit, then go buy the same stuff or next to nothing at a hardware store.

Lighter fluid is perfectly fine as a replacement for lumina fluid

It does not mention the industrial grade ventilation system or the carbon filter respirator or the overhead sprinkler system.
