Cool :D. Best to do the job with a cassette player. But be sure the drill does not spin to fast. Heard someone used just a Bic pen and did it manually. For sure it will take a long time...Anything goes if it works.
You said to press reverse - I expect you wanted to say rewind? Anyway I would not try it - silicon is not drying agent and wil permanently affect friction between tape , rubber rollers and axes. In most cases faulty tape tape is molded and this should be to be washed and wiped dry.
You said to press reverse - I expect you wanted to say rewind? Yes It's actually proven to work, and it's being used as a lubricant in almost all cassette tapes that you buy. Just get the Wet version, Not the dry version of Silicone spray. Silicone will leave a protective film after it dries. It can in some cases bring the tape back to its original state, and play much better with an improvement of sound quality! Thanks for your input!
You must let the Silicone dry first. For me, best results will be after 4-5 days. If it will come on pinch-roller or heads, just clean it with Isopropyl alcohol.
@@grips33com interesting. Thanks. I just junked a tape that would fast forward and rewind, but bogged down and stopped when playing. It was an old Alan Parsons Project "Turn of a Friendly Card" cassette. Next time I'll give this a try.

You don't strictly need the cassette player, I used a drill with a Bic biro pen in :D

Hi Grip, I have the same USB setup as you do........Can I use WD-40 Specialist Silicone Lubricant also? Thank you
Hi! You can use any brand of silicone spray as long it's the Wet version. Not the dry version, it can harm the tape instead. Good luck!

How does the silicone not end up on the head and roller?

It will work for sure. Just let it stand for a few days.
I've seen a hair dryer and dental pick method too. Have you tried it?
Heat will not lubricate the tape so its not an option. It can actually damage the tape in some cases instead.
