Yes, I had been told years ago to store my reel-to-reel audio tape tails out. As I remember, bleed-through is going to happen anyway, but by having the echo before the event and not after it, it will be less noticeable.

Hello friends - I'm a director who has recently moved from the balmy environs of Los Angeles to arctic San Francisco. My garage here is unattached from the house and unheated. That means that the temperature at night is going to drop to 35-45 and during the day will soar to 55-65. Humidity is maybe 70% - 80%. Would you say it's all right to store my films prints and negatives, and video tapes, in that environment where the temperature is slowly but constantly changing? Besides being chilly to an Angeleno, San Francisco also offers increased storage challenges. Thanks very much.
