But I've had a few found films that were old and crunchy too. I was really just wondering if something like a presoak before putting film on reels would be okay. | |

| Jul 13, 2016 at 8:12 | comment | added | laurencemadill | Have you tried a different reel? The standard Paterson reels that come with the super4 system (I think that's what it's called) seem to be known for being difficult when using 110 film. There are several that make it much easier. | |
