A humid environment will allow the static to discharge, Nick Aikman suggested, covering in a steamy bathroom when I was having problems with static. Steam up the bathroom and allow the roll to be in there a while and try again. When I cover in the winter I roll out the film and get it on the frame in the steamy environment then go back to my workshop to complete the covering job. That roll is probably quite thin if you are having that much trouble with it in the summer when the humidity should not be a problem.

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Film static
I'm having trouble getting film off a roll, To night I opened a new
roll of Y2k and started to on roll a piece. About 6inches into the
unrolling the film started to rip in the middle of the sheet. The
tears are very thin. almost like razor blade cuts. I think this is
being caused by excessive static. Any Ideas about how to fix it?
