Once it starts oscillating the damping would already have proved insufficient, so it makes sense that it wouldn't stop while still driven. But I assume that if you could achieve critical damping, you wouldn't get the torsional oscillation in the first place.
I gather the Apogee ribbons had foam supports to achieve the same thing as Magenpan's adhesive. But of course they still had the torsion problem, I assume due to the width of the ribbon.
