I have read on several occasions about the mylar on both faces of the
tape. I have over 300 reels of DECTape in my collection. Most of these
are 3M Scotch branded but around 30 of them are DEC branded in the blue
plastic boxes. I have never seen one with mylar on both sides. This may
have been something that existed early on but certainly wasn't the norm.
