chop off the edges of the film on both sides (by scissors).
between your body and a rim of the table is running slowly your film
(no curliness), in the full dark, of course.
I load the film onto the reel around 60sec.
I use a "PLASTIMAT" tank (old czech product). No problem. An volume is
550ml for 120 film.
