Yes Paul, as I originally said:
I've generally had great success with baking a tape for at least 12 hours
at
50c but failing that I have resorted to using isopropyl alcohol as
a
lubricant.

squeal
Following this thread...if we are talking about tapes that have absorbed
moisture due to a manufacturing problem (like ampex 400 series from the
early 1980s and therefore making them squeal and or shed), then using a
lubricant like a isopropyl drip should be the last thing to try. A program of
baking at 130f over 8-12 hours should be implemented and tried first. I would
be very concerned about lubricating to try and take care of this problem
without taking the step mentioned above.
