120 Rolls Slipping in Jobo Reels

[mercurye]

Hi all,

I usually develop 2 rolls per reel in the Jobo reels in a Multitank 5 with ATL-1000, using the red clip to separate them. Usually after developing the reels and taking the film out, I will find them over-lapped, (but both developed properly), ostensibly from the constant cyclical motion of the tank. However, I believe due to the new Kodak film base--which is thinner--I've just now had a roll overlap and stick together when dry, preventing the entire roll from developing properly. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if there is a way to prevent it.

Are you sure the first roll of film is pushed all the way to the center and stops before engaging the red clip?

How much thinner is it? I'd be surprised if it is enough to give you the loading problem you seem to have. ic-racer may have made a valuable suggestion in terms of where to check first

Loading reels is a talent. Best of luck!
