Good to know. The redder the better.

can I add some advice? why pull out all the film? you can easily drag the film from can to can and cut out the end of the film when is completely passed into the new one. doing so to avoid collecting dust or scratch the film. and if you use the redscale in a camera that read the DX code on the roll don't forget to reload the film in a lower ISO can. for example a 400 iso film must be loaded into an empty 100 iso can. :)

You can ask the lab person to return your previous can to you, so you can use it for the next redscale diy.

@superlighter is totally right. theres NO NEED to unspool the film!!!! just tape the ends together, and put it under a blanket and start winding from one to the other. SIMPLE.

I also do it by transferring film from one canister to another that way when you you tape the two pieces together you know they're lined up perfectly because that part can be done in light
