Putting film on a reel isn't as hard as it seems. It just takes some getting use to because you have to do it "blind". Once you put all your materials inside the changing bag zip both zippers to make sure it is light safe. Stick your arms through the two holes and make sure you do not take them out until you have finished this process. First taking the film can opener open the film and pop it out of the canister (this part requires some strength to pull open the canister). After it is opened pop the film out unroll it off the spool and take the tape off the end of it. Tear the first part of the film off because it doesn't have anything exposed on it. Locate the reel and start to wind up the film onto the reel (stick the end of the film into the lip of the reel and feed it through sightly, once the reel has a good grip on the film hold one hand still while the other moves one side of the reel back and forth to allow the film to gradually wind up around the reel). After the film is wound up around the reel check and make sure a spool is in the developing tank and slide the reel into the tank. Seal both lids back up tight and you are finished!!
