I have done a fair amount of bi-packing acetate neg with polyester print stock, and polyester with polyester, and it works fine. Occasionally a frame slips, maybe every 500or 600 feet, but it works well and there's been no damage to the camera that I can detect,

I've shot a fair amount of acetate stock in camera, both single frame and continuous without issue. I guess I'll have to do dummy load tests with acetate-polyester then acetate-acetate.

There does not seem to be room for the thickness of the stock and the Bolex has no registration pin to keep frames steady. I would not like to damage my Bolex through bi-paking.
