Spools must be dry, get the AP type with the big guide flaps.
If you fail to get 120 on first time,stop.
Give it 10 minutes.
Cut the leader again.
Try again.
Good luck :)

I read somewhere about getting a hairdryer on the spools for a few seconds before you pop them into the dark bag. Started doing it and loading film has been a piece of cake for me ever since.

Jesus fucking Christ loading 120 onto the developing spool is fucking shit.
Took me literally over an hour.
The film is no doubt fucked. Reckon it was moisture left on the spool from last time paired with sweating hands made the film sticky enough for the advancing mechanism to work.
