Is LPR35 the only sticky-safe 1 mil tape right now?
I scored a like-new 22-4. I've been using LPR35 on my 22-2 and it's been fine. (It sounds a little hissy on my 22-4 compared to the 22-2. I demag'd and it got much better, but not quite as good as the 22-2. Perhaps the more narrow tracks are to blame). Manual says it's biased for Ampex 456/Scotch 250/Maxell UD. My understanding is LPR35 is more like 407 but can handle +3 above 407. I'd like something closer to 407 - but without the sticky shed.
Should I just shut up and stick with LRP35?
