That is the part I don't understand. Why would it propagate outwards more easily than inwards? It's the same distance either way. We just restored "My Fair Lady" about a year ago from the original master 6-track mag. It did have print through throughout, though I think we were able to fix a lot of it. I'll have to check out the section Michael mentioned.
