To make it easier, trim the edges of the film you are putting in the reels. Trim them so that a small tri-angle falls off the film. You don't need to take much off. You also need to take the curl out of the film some so that it isn't so insistant on turning down. Both of these actions will help the film from catching along its path. After a while you will want to clean the reels. Soak them in diluted bleach, rinse, wash with mild soap, and rinse, rinse, rinse. Doug
