Hi
I'd not have done it without checking a safe spot first to
make sure I wasn't removing media.
I've seen pictures of using material like used for magnaflux
testing and then reading the disk optically.
With todays technics, I would think it could be easily
automated.

As I recall, I removed the disk from the
envelopes and
carefully cleaned them with alcohol and swabs. It didn''t
disolve the goo but made the surface not stick toit any more.
I was able to recover all the data and tranfer it to linerless
On the other hand, I've cleaned problem floppies with alcohol and had
the oxide wipe right off the substrate.
