Having recently bought a number of rolls, unseen, I have found that some
of them do not pass over the tracker bar smoothly.  They lift at various
points across the tracker bar letting air pass into holes in the tracker
bar that should be covered.  I suspect that they have been stored in a
damp area for long periods or they have been wet from rain or flooding,
and dried out, although there appears to be no water stains on the paper
or boxes.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to restore the paper to the
smooth flat condition of a good roll.  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
