[TowerTalk] Tape problem?

There's no such thing as ruined Scotch.  Some are just better than others.
And to keep this on topic, don't use either good or bad if you are going to
climb a tower.

Storing any kind of Scotch product at 120F ambient for weeks on end will
ruin it.  Especially the kind you drink.

Yes, I can confirm that.  I recently threw away a few cases of Scotch 33
that had been stored out in the garage for a few years. Ambient temp in
there exceeds 120F in the summer for weeks on end.
