I have used beige-coloured masking tape in the past for attaching the end of the film to the 35mm cassette spool. Maybe I have just had a crappy roll of tape, but lately all my home-loaded 35mm films have given me grief. Mostly because the tape lets go when I try to wind on and it's the end of the film. So I take a few of the world's finest photographs and then realise the rewind knob is no longer turning when I wind on. Then I have to go into the dark, open the camera, and feed the film from the wrong end onto a developing reel. Not the end of the world, but a pain in the caudal region.
Currently switched to clear Scotch tape/Sellotape (I'm bilingual!) and I'll see if that turns out to be better, though I have dozens of home-rolled cassettes in the film freezer, and most are made up with the brown masking tape.
Ant suggestions for foolproof tape?
