Default Cine film cement

Ive just picked up an old Eumig 8mm projector along with family films from
my mothers flat. Amazingly the projector works just fine. I assumed all
the belts would have rotted away but it seems to use chains.

Anyhow, some of the old acetate films could do with a bit of repair work
and I have a splicer but no acetate cement. What is acetate cement? Could
I just try acetone or is there more to it than that? There are some small
bottles available on eBay but theyre pretty pricey.

I thought they used special tape- a bit like sellotape- which you placed in
the spicer and it squeezed it down, trimmed it, etc. I half remember
seeing it done once or twice.
