? about removing double stick tape

SgtSixer · 02-17-2007, 09:08 PM

i pulled the moldings off the side of my blazer which were just double stick taped from the factory. now i have big nasty lookin strips of left over tape down both sides of my friggin truck. I've tried engine degreaser, bug and tar remover, goo gone, 80 grit sandpaper, even straight gas. some off them definately helped a little but i was wondering if anyone had an idea to get em off reall easy

goto paint and body supply shop and get a rubber wheel for the die grinder...they work very well as long as you don't stay in one place to long...g/l

heat gun

heat gun will melt and bubble ur paint. I dont think you have 2 sided tape, i think it is polyeurethane or sumthing like that. I had that shit on a car i took a body kit off of, and there is absolutely nothing that can get that shit off without fucking the paint up...

a heat gun will not bubble your paint. i used it many many a time to remove pin stripes and to take off the double sided tape from my side skirts when they weren't lined up correctly.

ok, use a heat gun, not my car...

Wanna go a little more in depth on how you removed the pin stripes?

heat and pull. the heat remelts the glue and it pulls right off

+1

Or get a Plastic Razor Blade and a little bit of time.

Here is a link to the eraser wheel. I bought one from Snap on that goes on a drill, it works good too...
