Re: [ARSCLIST] Risk assessment tool
"I have personally baked and transferred tapes, only to
discover a few years later that the SSS had returned. Consequently I do
not
regard baking is a cure, but a temporary work around".
Joe is quite right: the baking drives the moisture from the tape making
it playable. The tape then starts to absorb moisture from the
atmosphere and so becomes 'sticky' again after a few weeks. Like
muffins, bake your tapes in batches!
