hi,
as some of you might remember, i took over a darkroom some time ago.
there still was an old development tank laying around, which i tried to
use. it's not the kind that's water-proof (i.e., you can't flip the
tank), but there's a knob on top with which you can turn the film spool.
my problem is, that after i inserted the film, and the developer, the
film rolled up inside and stuck together, denying any chemicals to the
inside of the film. i tried this with 3 films (fortunately i was smart
enough to use test films and not "good" (yeah, right) pictures.)
is there some secret that i missed out on to keep the film from sticking
to itself? (also winding it up against its natural winding direction
doesn't help.) any tips would be apreciated!
i'm thinking about going to a local photo store to talk to the guys, and
maybe get a new tank, with a manual.

btw, i don't know if it makes any difference, but the film i use is
fp4+, and the developer is "tetenal neofin blau"
