Thank you everyone for your advice. Just for the sake of keeping my options open, how would the IKEA idea work with respect to the film? I understand having the film not attached to the spool and paper so it doesn't react to the paper if its stored for months, but what could the film be kept in...

Yeah, I'm planning to do that eventually. I'm only using the expired film to make sure my process works. It would suck to spend hundreds on a nice big roll of FP4 only to find out the 3d printed spools aren't light tight, or my film cutter doesn't work, or the backing paper reacts with the film...

I'm considering a somewhat insane project, and I'm looking to gauge interest. I'm researching buying an 8" x 100ft roll of HP5 in Ilford's ULF program, and cutting it down into fresh 122 film, rolling it onto 3d printed spools with homemade backing paper, and selling most of the rolls in a...
