Removing Adhesive Tape from Walls
How can I remove double sided tape from my walls w/o damage?
This is a good question that people commonly have trouble with. Several methods can be used. For instance, you can try heating up the tape with a blow dryer and then scraping it off with a razor. There are also products that can be applied to the tape that will lesson or breakdown its adhesive qualities, allowing it to be removed more readily. However, these techniques can damage your walls or your paint job. Your best bet is to choose the correct adhesive tape for your surface. If you know you will want to remove the tape in the future, you want to stick with tapes that are not permanent and are labeled 'clean removable'.
