Is this a Jobo Expert Drum for 8x10 film or is it a Jobo 8x10 Print drum??
I've been rotary processing with Pyro for years and I've never had this happen
in Expert Drums or in my home-made ABS processing tubes.

You're using a Jobo Expert Drum, correct? How are you loading the film? I
find that if I curl the film into a "C", then load it with the opening of the
"C" facing away from the center of the drum (does that make sense?), then I
have virtually no problems with the film sticking to the drum or any residual
anti-halation dye on the back of the film.

Best,
