This is the most accessible and cheapest way of dehydrating a tape: simply get a few packets of silica gel and an airtight container (preferably something like an OXO or Rubbermaid container) and store the tape. Similar to pickling kimchi or radishes, this process is unfortunately not instantaneous and will take some time. Store the container in a temperature-stable environment away from direct light. While there is no exact time limit for leaving the tape, you can take the tape out after a month or so and try playing it.
