Hi folks,:hug:
The window tape on my VTR is beginning to peel and is looking nasty. i bought some new tape today and am wondering if any one knows ho to remove the old tape? where it is not peeling it's very sticky nd I think would be too hard to peel off. Any suggestions folks? :P :oops:

Hair dryer to heat it up and peel it off, then some petrol on a rag to rub the sticky residue left on it.

Jobs a goodn. Dry off and stick the new stuff on.

Or leave it off like i have. i personaly prefer it off.

yeah get a hairdryer on it first to warm the film up then peel it off while keeping it hot. then when its all off. put a bit of petrol on a rag and rub it against the door where the film was if theres any sticky residue left over soon takes it off mate simple.

looks better left on imo, but if its peeling you may as well take them off, just go slow though, ive heard people taking a bit of paint of with them

Makes it a fuck load easyer to get off mate. jus warm it around the edges. then start peeling it off keeping the dryer on it . Wont leave as much sticky residue to take off either.
