I would coil it backwards on the original spool, fasten it with tape and
check a couple of days later to see if it is easier to load.

Subject: [pure-silver] Need help with tightly curled film...



I am posting this for a friend who has asked my advice.  Any help on this
would be educational and most greatly appreciated.

My friend wrote:

"I have been wrestling with the most cantankerous and miserable spool of 120
film I have ever dealt with. It has rolled and taken a set so tight that
whatever I do I cannot get it to start and stay in the spool when I try to
load it. Any tricks or suggestions from your past that you can pass on? I
mean when you let go of one end of this baby it snaps back into a tight roll
loke a metal spring does. It stays coiled so tight I can't even keep it flat
to start it on the roll, even after creasing it about an inch into the film.
I have it separated from the paper and sitting in my tank loose at this
point."

THANKS!
Speedy
