Typical audio tape is 1.5 mil. You can get 1 mil tape, but it's a pain in
the neck to edit.

Videotape is 0.5 mil or thinner. Sometimes 0.25 mil even.
This is where the supply problems come in. Everybody wants to buy and sell
thin stuff. Nobody wants to do thick stuff anymore.

Drat. How about this from left field: if the magnetic layer
could be trapped between two plastic backings (of, say, 0.5 mil
each) would it still be close enough to the head gaps?

I can imagine a good variety of other potential problems in
construction, durability, etc. And of course there would be
dozens more I can't think of, 'cause I know From Nothing about
it. But just as a gedanken experiment.

Thanks, as usual,
