I use 2 Hewes stainless steel reels and ss tank, and I make sure it's very
clean and dry before using. I noticed that the film was held in very tight
along the slots of the reels when I first got it and was practicing with old
film. Maybe I should try another reel.
Lots of things to try. Better do one at a time, huh?
thanks
Jodi
