    Careful which blue painters tape ... the best is the low adhesive variety, cost 3 times as much but is absolutely worth it ... you can't find it everywhere but most paint stores have it. Drafting tape also works fine.

    If you search on this site, there is a lengthy discussion on this topic. In it, you will learn how to use simple non-glare picture frame glass to sandwich your negatives. The glass holds the negative flat and puts it in the sweet spot. I've used this method with good success for more than a year now.

    so take two pieces of glass, put the negative in between them? Doesn't sound bad! I wonder if the anti-newton ring glass would be a good idea? Picture frame glass would probably work, I think I've actually got some 8x10 picture frames that I could pop the glass out real quick for a test tonight after work, thanks for the suggestion!
