I wrapped the film another time, and adjusted the rollers and arms a bit so that there was no slack... within 40 minutes... 4 cycles of the film, it was back to dragging on the floor again my guess is that the loop is just tightening a bit with each cycle, thus freeing up more film slack

How well are the splices made? If they're sort of uneven and bulge out, or if there's any tape residue on that area of the print, that will cause problems. Tightness of the film pack is also critical. If the film is wound unevenly in any way that will cause problems, and if it's wound too tight it

Running anything over 10 minutes I would recommend using a failsafe system or have the projector under constant surveillance. The more film you have on there the more likely it is to fail and one brain wrap will destroy your projector. On Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 11:59 AM, Pip Chodorov

I have never had this problem persist more than an hour or so. Maybe you can contact Robert Miniaci for help as he makes 35mm loopers in Montreal. At 14:27 -0300 12/10/14, Amanda Christie wrote: for those of you who have used these, or other styles of loopers does it usually take a few
