May not work with the short strips, but what I do is, when the roll is returned
form the lab, hang the uncut film inside a tall cupboard door with a couple of
film drying clips until it straightens - usually just a few hours.
Maybe putting the strips in a negative filing sheet and compressing between
two(or more) very heavy books will help?
