OK, my experience with 1/2" tape mostly ended about 20 years 
ago, but I STILL have one shelf of tapes in my shop, and ALL 
the seals are in excellent condition.  I have no idea why!  
(But, mine are in a metal rack, not hanging.)

But, we did have some where the separate black ends that 
formed the hanging hook and clamp broke.
