How do you guys manage long-term storage of your paper
tape collections?
Are there any fatal errors, like would storing them upright for a long
time cause a bad enough slump in the paper to prevent readability? Do
you keep them out of the sun? What about aftermarket identification
labels on the leader, how thick can this become before the tape doesn't
work any more? What other problems have you seen?
It would be pretty trivial to build a vacuum forming mold and use ABS
plastic...
