Winding and Sticky Shed



Just a quick comment prompted by Mike Biel's question concerning whether there was any risk from sticky tape if winding directly between reels without tape travelling over guides and rollers.
 
Hi Michael!
 
When I was working down the road form you in Berea I encountered reels (Shamrock or Irish tape I believe) where the sticky shed was so far advanced that simply separating two layers of tape caused the coating to peel off so you could look right through the clear substrate!  Thus, to answer your question, it wouldn't matter if the tape came in contact with any surface--  in this case at least, the problem was so severe that the tape would have been destroyed simply by winding.
 
Best,
