[QuadList] Scotch 400

[C. Park Seward]

The 400 3M tapes I have in house are all sticky. But baking has saved them. 

Not all the foam was bad. The story is another company supplied the glue that was bad. I'm not sure I believe that. Selling glue to 3M?

Best,
Park

Could use a cleaning before playing but they actually looked good. Is that possible? I was always under the impression that all these are disasters.
