Here's my procedure:(posted 9114 days ago)After the photoflo, I wrap the reel in a papertowel (fold the papertowel over once, put the reel on one side, then fold the rest of the papertowel over the other), then use a hard snapping motion much like playing with a yo-yo. Do this about 10 times, then hang your film to dry. I rarely ever have problems.
