Jim, Are you concerned about any chemical contamination from the electrical tape? I was thinking of any outgassing of the vinyl or something. I don't know, it just seemed like s surprise that you would use electrical tape. I have always used a good quality paper masking tape.

Butt the film up to the spool side. Press the tape onto both sides of the film. The tape is now taped to the spool and both sides of the film end. You need to use 2" of tape. This puts about 3/4" of tape onto each side of the film. It CANNOT slip since everything is taped together. I use black plastic electricians tape. Easy to work with and easy to remove, even years in a freezer later.
