I screwed up.
While by all means the tension around the surface of the drum should be even as the tape is pulled back and fourth it was not. This has left portions where too much aluminum has been sanded off and there is nowan uneven surface. Dammit. I also discovered that there were more guides that were slowly being sanded away so the hell with it, I measured the position of the remaining 20 guides and removed them for safekeeping. NOW would be an awesome time to separate the two halves and just lathe the damn thing but again, the two halves are press fit together.
