The few times I have tried the tape method, i ended up with one long scratch on my film, so what I did, I took the spool out of the cassette, loaded it in my bulk film loader, put the film on the the spool,(posted 8704 days ago)now your probably wondering how did i get it in the camera without exposing the film?
what i did is, i took a brokendown 12 volt cooler approx 3x2x2 ft that had a clamplock on it. sawed out 2 holes out for hands and then cut the arms off a black jacket that has the elastic cuffs, only about 6 inches from the cuff, secured them to the 2 holes. I did this because I for some reason loose total sence of direction in total darkness.
then just put all items in cooler clamp shut, put your arms in and just take the spool from the bulk loader and load the camera,just need to make sure your camera does not have any light leaks.
this also works very well for taking your film from your camera or cassette to your developing canister. just make sure you have every thing in the cooler before you start so you dont have pull your hands out works very well for me, just thought i would pass along an idea, hope this helps
