Never had a problem with the 1500 series, but I:
- make a small champfer to the corners of the film
- clean the reels carefully. In fact, I don't, as I also use color processes
(Kodak E-6 one-shot kit) that does this very nicely
- check the reels and my hands are very dry. If not, I use a hair dryer to dry
both. Moisture on gelatin makes it very sticky on plastic.
This way, I just have to push the film into the reel without any need for
moving the flanges of the reel back and forth.
