I dry that way too, in a cabinet.
I will try resoaking.

How long should you resoak the negatives in the wetting agent? I
rewashed them and then resoaked in wetting agent for about half a
minute. This didn't work. Maybe I should have soaked longer?
The film is Ilford HP5+ and FP4+, which is usually pretty reliable
film. Maybe my stop was too strong?

Resoak for perhaps two minutes. That should be long enough to
saturate the emulsion and backcoating. Wetting agent is supposed to
eliminate water spotting! I've used both plain Photo Flo and the
mixture with alcohol for many years without problems.
Ilford is pretty good stuff but they have had occasional coating
problems. However, if you are getting the same effect on two or three
kinds of film it pretty much eliminates the film itself.
I agree with those who advise going light on the Photo Flo.
BTW, how do you dry? Presumably not on the reels. I hang roll
film using clips and sheet film using wooden clothes pins.
