Hi, Curtis,
Please provide specifics as to type of tape, width, reel type, baking
process and duration.
Also photographs are really useful.
Is the shredding from the edges only or across the entire width of the tape?
What is the playback machine?
Cheers,
Richard

I thought it needed to be baked longer so I baked it a second time. Same problem. I have seen tape shed before and this looks different.

Quality tape transfers -- even from hard-to-play tapes.
