Mike, to hold the filter in place behind the shutter and between the rails
use Scotch tape not glue.  However, I question whether there is enough
depth for two layers of E-6 film to form a filter between the rails.
Kodak's 87C works fine, but it is fragile. I had one break up after 2 rolls
of film. I now use a polyester 87C which appears indestructable.
