(I missed any other parts of this discussion.) If so, or even most of them, I would hold out on completely ruining the recording with a spray until you know that imaging technology, such as that being developed at the Lawrence Berkeley Labs and other places, could not restore the sound. I think that you need to protect this recording from those who seek to destroy it in order to have something to hang on a wall.
