I have a Watson 100 and a "new" (expired 1995) tech pan roll sitting in my freezer. I want to load this bad boy up. Will it fit in my Watson 100? Or do I need something else to bulk load it?

If I remember correctly, TechPan was coated on a thinner than normal support. The 150 ft. roll should be the same diameter as a 100 ft. roll of more standard material.

A "normal" 100' roll fits with room to spare in a Watson roller. So the extra should fit.

Frank is correct. The thinner base allows for more film in the same diameter.

Those thinks have plenty of room for the extra 50'. The outside windings are skinner ....
But I think you should sell it to me anyway!!

It fits without a problem as mentioned due to the thinner base.
