I always use 2 pieces of tape when attaching the film to the spool:
one on each side of the film, wrapping around to the other side. I do
this mainly because I never know exactly how long a spool is, and my
old manual camera can pack quite a whallup on advancing the film when
I don't know I'm near the end. I never wanted to be caught with film
off the spool & in the camera when I was away from the house. That
would be a nightmare.
I think most everyone has spooled film and forgotten to open the light
trap at some point. (Except the sheet film guys -- but they have a
host of other horror stories instead.) As you said -- try a roll and
see what it looks like.

Who hopes this helped.
