re-use of 8mm cartridges

[heiser at tdw201.ed.ray.com]

As I understand it, the 8mm helical-scan cartridges are not recommended
for multiple-usages.  Do any of you in net-land have any experience in
this area?  Do you re-use your "expired" 8mm backup tapes?  If so, have
you noticed a problem with high error-rates?  How many times do you re-use
the cartridges?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences with these units.
