Subject: [Leica] Anyone out there load cassettes from bulk film?

I used to load my own Plus X in the late 1960's, but cooled off on it when I
had problems with the damned film ends coming untaped at the end of the
roll. I had to keep a changing bag in my trunk, and then take the film out
of the bag in my darkroom. The tape that Kodak, Ilford, etc. use to affix
the film to the spool is tenacious as hell. Anyone have a suggestion of what
I should use? I have a feeling that "duct tape" is going to enter the
conversation.
