It takes about 2 hours, and can be up to 3 if you're particular about lining up the exact start points.

On older tapes, sometimes they're marked, sometimes not.

The most important thing is if individual used tapes were ever taken out of order when being stored, because then you'll have to figure out which tape goes where and that can take a while.

Hopefully this hasn't happened though.

Yes. That's what Jason's question was about. I've laced a couple of frames, but now that I think about it, both times was with tape on spools. I don't know how difficult it would be to lace previously laced tapes.
