i expect most people will end up doing it this way.
when you get more modern film mag scraps from your local 1 hour lab you will notice short bit of film is usually hanging out.
this is good if you dont want to cut the window in the case and tie onto the reel[superior method}

use the punch to pop a hole through the film tie off the line to it then reel it in.
simple isnt it.
the problem with doing it this way is when your reeling out your line later and hit the end anything over a pound or two of force is gonna tear the string right out also if theres no window in the cassette you wont be able to see to get the maximum amount of line in there.
so take the dremel or a hacksaw and cut a bit out of the case and tie onto the reel inside its stronger.
