Do NOT use WD-40, oils, silicone, or talcum powder on the print, as they may make the film more sticky, or cause other problems. Be sure to use platter clips to keep the roll from getting off center, or being thrown from the platter by centrifical force. Film curl affects how easily the film pulls in. Try winding the film with the opposite orientation. If you normally wind soundtrack side up from the platter surface, try winding it with the soundtrack side down to change the curl orientation, or vice-versa.
Static cling is usually most severe in the last few reels, especially for long pictures.
This is because the film peels off the roll at a much shallower angle as you get to the outside of the platter. In the event of excessive tension, these devices either stop the projector, or cut the film cleanly, to minimize damage. Kelmar, Avask, and the various platter manufacturers have a variety of tension-sensing failsafes available. NATO and the Intersociety Committee have set up a committee headed by Bob Pinkston to study the static cling problem. Kodak and Fuji are working closely with the committee to better understand the problem, which has been seen on a variety of films.
