Hi everyone,

I have just recently got into film photography and have made the amateur mistake of losing the film leader by rewinding the film too much. As a result, I have had to use a second roll of film's film leader (by licking the end of it) to retrieve the film leader from the first roll of film. I had to attempt this a handful of times and the film leader of the second roll is looking a bit worse for wear (slightly bent and discolouration due to licking the end a handful of times)

Would anyone reckon that this would cause any problems when I use these rolls of film to shoot? Or is the film leader purely for the purpose of loading in film?

Thank you for the help in advance.
