[AV Media Matters] Baking videotape

[seubert@library.ucsb.edu]

We have two series of U-Matic tapes, on Ampex KCA and Scotch UCA
videotape 
that appear to have sticky-shed syndrome. I've never baked videotape
with 
sticky-shed, though I have baked audiotape. What is the consensus on 
handling videotape with this problem? Are the procedures for handling
these 
the same as for audiotape, or are there special things I should know? I 
bake 1/4" audiotape for about 4 hours at 130 deg and I assume that wider

tape would need to be baked longer, just as is necessary with audiotape.

Any personal insights or references to published articles would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
David
