[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 506341, member: 7379"] If the tape has dried and gone yellow, you can usually peel off the tape leaving a crusty coating behind. This crust can be removed by carefully rubbing it with surgical spirit, but be careful not to rub too hard or for too long or you will start to lift off the litho. Gently does it, and you will remove the crusting. If however the tape is still fresh / firmly attached and not yellowing, that's a much harder ask. Really freshly applied tape can sometimes be peeled off if you're really, REALLY careful, but if it's now many years old, you're probably better off leaving it alone. [/QUOTE]
