No kiddin'! Hadn't heard that one before. It sounds crazy, and yet strangely neat-o...so is that something that would have a positive effect on recent shedding batches of RMGI, or is it a fix related to older generations of tape? I realize that for the RMGI tape, you should work with them to get it replaced, but just from a theory standpoint...would that work? Does it, like, reactivate the binder or something (the alcohol)?

No worky for RMGI, but it works on Quantegy 499 and AGFA 468. With some batches of AGFA you can use a dry lint-free cloth to remove the loose oxide dust. With some tapes that's all it is, just heavier than normal oxide shedding. It's not a binder issue in these cases.
