Hey, Paul - did you rough up the bottom of the tray to prevent the film from sticking while processing? I've heard that some people did that for that very reason.

Sort of - I created some ridges by taping down some wires using plastic tape. I did this initially so it was reversible, but it's been like that for more than a decade now! I've never had any problems with sheets sticking.

I've read others have used epoxy or hot melt glues.

My vote is (obviously) shoot it. Re: developing, four sheets would likely fit in a Unicolor drum on a Uniroller. I’ve been developing sheet film with it for decades. Daylight and pretty manageable. And prices seem to have come down again.
