Default ? rolling strap for double helix

They usually don't uncoil uniformly.

So, my question, before I invest the time and money, is my idea of
rolling the strap at an angle going to work?

Thanks,

Before you build another rolling machine, try rolling the strap so it
makes a spiral that is close wrapped. ie the coils touch each other.
Then stretch to make the spacing of the coils what you desire.
