I don't see the problem. The film is only attached to the backing paper at one end, by a small piece of adhesive tape.(posted 8221 days ago)Here's how to proceed:
Before you start; make sure your hands are clean and as dry as possible. ie, not sweaty or greasy, if you'll pardon my saying it.
Take the film into your darkroom or changing bag together with your developing tank and reel.
Slit the adhesive band with your fingernail, then unwind the backing paper until you get to the film itself (About 18" or 40cm of backing paper). The film will most likely spring away from the backing paper as soon as you reach it.
Proceed carefully from this point, by taking the film by its edges and rolling it up in a fairly loose roll.
Concentrate on what's happening to the film, and forget the backing paper, just let that spill on the floor or curl up in the changing-bag.
When you reach the end of the film, you'll find it stuck to the paper by a short piece of tape running the width of the film.
Fold the backing paper across the tape where it joins the film, and crease it away from the film, so that you have a double thickness of paper and half the tape on one side of the crease, and the film and the rest of the tape on the other. Now just gently tear the tape in two down the crease.
You should be left with the film in one hand, and the paper in the other.
Drop the paper, and again just concentrate on handling the film roll gently by the edges.
Load your reel and tank with the film.
Cap the tank.
Open the bag, or turn on the light.
Clear up the mess of backing paper and spool.
Job done.
Sit down and have a celebratory cup of tea.
