Thanks for all the help. I managed to get some of it unroll this morning,
but it was tearing on every pass at this one point. With some closer
observation it looks like there are pieces of dirt two of them, that are
trapped under the firm and so when the film was put on the roll the
pieces punctured the roll:-(
