If you mean baking tapes, it is not formally documented that
I have ever heard of. OTOH, one of the regulars over on
news:rec.audio.pro has quite a bit of experience and often
advises others on that newsgroup: Scott Dorsey.
Note that baking is NOT the automatic solution for recovering
ALL old tapes. It is only a partial workaround for SOME
symptoms. You run the risk of further damage by baking
a tape that doesn't need it (or won't tollerate it).
