3000 miles on this change with a Kirkland roll. Roll was stuff as tight as I possibly could for this sample.

Kirkland rolls are not wound right, they are more loosely wound on one side and tighter on the other, most likely caused by fast production rates at the paper mill.

I tried to reroll a Kirkland roll tighter with two paint rollers, it was time consuming work, it needed side guides to keep the paper straight on the cardboard roll, I didn't get far enough into the experiment to make the guides, I got half a roll done when the paper seperated at a seration, it was real picky on how tight it could be wound as the diameter got larger, I gave up trying to make a lump of coal into gold.
