I can't say more in a public forum, but as long as you test any reel before using it for shed, and if there is no shed after about 5 minutes, then it will be fine "forever". Unlike the lubrication problem with old tapes, this shed is NOT one that will occur after time, the tape will either have the problem or not. And yes, they are taking steps to resolve it, that is, reduce instances of it happening or occuring.
