			Split reels should often not be totally flush when tightened. They usually use a brass crush washer or a rubber washer at the base of the hub to prevent over-tightening, but the brass washers often get lost and the rubber washers wear down, so many split reels are easily over-tightened. If the film is kissing on the flange excessively, and especially if the film is pinching between the flanges, the flanges have been over-tightened and need to be loosened. When you have split reels with these issues, you can determine the degree of backwards rotation required to back the outer flange off from the hub (ex., tighten the reel fully and then back it off one rotation). --[[User:JesseCrooks\|JesseCrooks]] ([[User talk:JesseCrooks\|talk]]) 19:00, 7 May 2020 (PDT)
