question about gels on flash

[2WheelPhoto]

I have a silly question, how do I put these on my flash? I had a prob shooting at night. Heavy tungsten street light and my SB-600 didn't match. A guy suggested I order this and since it was only 8 bux and I was ordering from B&H I bought it.

Seems the product may stick to the SB-600 on its own but appears as though it may melt. And pieces are so small not a lot of room for painters tape or such.

Help? Was I supposed to order something with it, or did I waste 8 bux because not worth shipping back.

Stick it under the built-in wide flash adapter (item #1 on page 10 of your manual). Rosco makes gels for professional use, so they shouldn't be so prone to over heating, however, I wouldn't keep rapid firing the flash because it does generate a lot of heat.

Yea I was worried/wondering about a melted mess with tape, I had googled some DIY stuff aned expensive holders. I'd rather be trying to learn to shoot than reinventing hardware solutions. I'll try the tape, thanks!

I attach them to a speedlight with gaffers tape so the gel is slightly rounded which keeps it away from the front lens of the speedlight.

Overheating should really only be an issue if you are rapid firing the flash.

Scotch tape? That's what everybody uses. It's cheap, readily available, re-usable multiple times, transparent, affordable, and so,so,so tacky!!!
