Yes it does. I do carefully examine the felts for any sand or
other particles that could scratch the surface. When in doubt,
the bottle opener is put into service. This is the same reason
why many people refuse to reuse film canisters when "rolling
their own" from bulk.
Almost ALL commercial processing is done without opening the
canister. They use commercially available leader-pullers where
we are just cheepskates making due with bottle-openers and
licked film.
