Using whole plate film

[Asha]

Does anyone on here do large format?
If so perhaps you can help me out.
I regularly use 9 x 12 cm, 1/4 and 1/2 plate formats in sheet film.
Having recently obtained some whole plate film ( Ilfords annual promotion of LF sizes), I am in need of finding a way to hold it inside the wooden plate holder as I do not possess a sheet film adaptor for it.
I have read some ideas about using a sheet of glass and using jam to hold the film to it but I think that is a no go for me as I have no dark room...can you imagine trying to deal with it in a changing bag!!! lol
Obviously I have to watch out for any "shift" in the focal plane depending what method I end up using but i'm hoping that by stopping down the aperture will resolve that issue.
Does anyone have any ideas that perhaps they have used with success?
Any suggestions welcome!

Not really sure if I can make a suggestion, You will need to get the film in the holder and back it with a piece of glass. I would not suggest any jam to stick the film to the glass!! It might be that you have to make or adapt a film holder to do the job.
Sorry I cant be much help, I have a 1/2 plate camera with plate holders but I use that for wet pate work.

Dunno.

What about double sided tape on the edge, like the way you do a hinge mount for a photo matted into a frame?
