Need Help Rewinding material on another roll

Hey Guys...I'm cutting a lot of weird material (that's my thing) but this has a silicone coating on the face. I don't have a machine with a take up rollers and this stuff won't slide against itself. I can't rewind it without it looking like a kid who unrolled the TP roll and tried to reroll the whole thing. Advice please

I have a 60' long roll of material that needs to be rewound onto a new core. It won't go straight and normally, you just go a few layers, straighten the sides up and pull it tight...this stuff wont slide and wont pull tight because of the tackiness of the silicone coating....it's weird, but that's kinda what I do.

Is it the whole roll? or how many yards is it?

If you can find a partner, try rolling it with the core vertical. One of you holds that and keeps it rolling straight, and the other person holds the material to be rolled. Kind of like folding a big blanket, but without the folding.
