Wind it upside down? Not sure what that means. You

would be ok, sure, but I've never seen that done. We had bulk erasers readily
available if we needed them, so it wasn't lack of equipment.

Idea is to flip the tape over, since I expect that facing the head that
side would have the most wear,so you flip the bottom side
that has the least wear up.
