Ok, use a magnetic fingerprinting powder on it ;)
Actually, I've heard (and
seen) there IS a liquid solution that will let you visibly see the dots on
mag tape.
There is. It generally goes under the name of 'Magnasee' and is a
colloidal suspension of iron oxide in some suitable volatile liquid. I
have no idea where you get it nowadays, though.

Hi
Would the stuff used for magnaflex work. This is available
through most machine shop supply houses.
Another thought would be to stablize the media with something
like art spray ( acrylic ). A vary thin coat should only
reduce the highs a little but should stablize the coating.
I'd try it on a spare tape first.
