Can you provide a quick summary of what you know about these 
procedures/requirements?

That is exactly correct. I have never tried it, but supposedly baking 
will melt acetate (aka "plastic" by 3M/Scotch) tapes. I did see the 
results of an acetate tape that was stored behind a woodstove for two 
Vermont winters...the edge facing the stove was melted together and the 
tape tore once a revolution.
