The comment was that old tapes absorb moisture into
the oxide, which
makes things sticky and causes the oxide to stick to the wrong spots
and flake off the tape. The solution is to set the tape in a fruit
dryer at modest heat (150 F or so) for a while.
"Baking" tapes is a well-known "remedy" in the industry. Afterwards,
the
tapes are not to be used anymore.
