I sympathise with your problems loading 35mm.
Are the little ball bearings at the entry of the spiral free to move about? Just a thought.
If you want a real pain in the rectal area try loading 120 Shanghai GP3 into Paterson Spirals. It has more curl than a clock spring, even when processed & dried!

Seele, what is TC-1?
It is "Tray Cleaner", a simple solution made out of two components; it can take out the silver stains in trays and spirals.
Formula and instructions can be found here.

Wow, you dug up an old thread of mine.

I cured the problem by switching to stainless steel spirals. Now loading is flawless and very quick.
