Ilford film users....why is Ilford film so difficult to roll?

Hi,

I usually use Kodak brand films but have, on occasion, used Ilford Universal 400 and Ilford's SFX 200 film. When I go to roll the film onto the reel, it seems to stick in a certain spot each time. My reels aren't exactly new; however, I've had no problems with Kodak films whatsoever. Usually I just cut the film off at the point where it sticks and reload the second piece onto a separate reel. It always comes out okay and doesn't stick anymore after that. Has anyone else had this problem? If you have any advice for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanx in advance.

Erin
