With all due respect to Charles A. Richardson, I've see three of his presentations about his method of getting sticky shed tapes to play without baking them. After reading 2 articles and 3 presentation I still don't have a clue how this works and how the rest of us can use it. Without some facts it all seems like a mystery. I'll continue baking because it's a fact that it works. Everything else is shrouded in mystery for some reason.
