Occasionally we run across tapes with Sticky Tape Syndrome, primarily Grand Master 456, that do not respond to tape baking.

With the aid of Cyclomethicone (D5), we were able to get these tapes recorded from the late 80s to playback properly.Solving Sticky Tape Syndrome With the aid of Cyclomethicone (D5)
