I find that I can't do it unless I carefully take a pair of scissors and cut a longer tail on the film, but I often do this wrong and even when I do it right it takes several minutes. Is there a trick? Is there a tool that cuts the long film tail (e.g. something sold for use with a bulk film loader?).
