    Default 35mm Film Containers

    Ok I have a really stupid or simple question. How do you keep your 35mm film containers from falling off the glass. I have repeated issues in my 40 vert where the containers fall off the glass. In my 10's they stay on the glass. Could it be the 10 verts have a higher humidity that helps the suction cups adhere to the glass better? The 40 vert glass does start to dry out a bit at times.

    Mine pretty much stay on. Although I did have one time where I was looking at my Vents and as the little guys was backing into it the cup it fell into the bushes a few inches down. He stayed in the cup the whole time and didn't think anything of it. I just left it in the bushes and that is now his new home.

    If you're using the ones from Josh's Frogs, in my opinion the suction cups are too small. I use them too because I'm lazy, but I have a bunch I made myself with larger suction cups. They stay on a lot longer.

    Mike, lick the glass! Oh, only kidding :-)

    No sure on this since my GPS in the car has the same issue when the car glass gets hot in the summer.

    Maybe I'll see if I can find some larger ones at the hardware store.
