That sounds like a voice of experience. I spent at least 20 practice rounds on loading 6 sheets per reel in the daylight. It seemed okay to me. I was confident until I read too many accounts of sheets touching. One thing I do every time (4 sheets or 6) is feel the ends of the sheets to make sure that they're spaced about right. I'll probably give it a try with 6 next time. Thanks for that.
