It takes about 20 minutes of practice to get confident. Much better than plastic Patterson tank system where liquid gets trapped then dries in the right angles of the plastic spool. For those who do use the steel clip at the hub, it helps you center the film and hold it tight when you start rolling. It lets you tug a bit at the beginning, then the film slides on with a confident shushing sound as gets trapped in the coils going around the reel.
Excellent tutorial, like the other ones, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Just one question about this one, should I use this method with my paterson auto loading reels, or should I load it like normally, like 35mm film?
If you can get your hands on a 220 reel I suppose you could tape the two rolls of film together and roll them on there... But it's a longshot! Trying to get them perfectly aligned so that the second roll goes on straight would be tricky. Also would need to be careful about what tape you use, b/c you don't want that coming off and floating around in the chemistry!
Great tutorial - no let me rephrase: best tutorial on youtube. You should get way more coverage!
pro trick: watch series on kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Landon Israel definitely, I have been using KaldroStream for months myself :D

Ted do you have a similar tutorial for plastic take-up spools? I have done processing once, and it is bit different with the plastic ones.
Thank you.
Can you use te chemicals said in previous episode with regular 35mm film?
Ted, do you have any information on loading two 120 rolls on to one spiral to save on time and chemicals?

Can you show us how to develop colour 35mm film please? Portra 400
Do you have to do it in complete darkness or can you use a safe lite to help you see?
Film must be in complete darkness.
Just load them normally…
oh lol i was supposed to lick it? i just used a piece of tape
