The Man Who Invented 'Kerchunk'! May 1999 Interview with Frank Schmidt "If you ever want to see the tracks, take a piece of 8-track tape about 4 inches long and dust it with some really fine ferrous oxide powder. Very carefully blow it off, but not too much. Then take a piece of Scotch tape and press it down and peel the tape off slowly. What you'll have left on there are all the tracks.
