[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 529138, member: 7379"] I have had great success using surgical spirit and gently rubbing areas of dried up tape with a cotton bud (i.e a cotton bud dipped in surgical spirit. Don't pour surgical spirit over your card! :-D). As with any liquid applied to paper, do NOT rub too hard or you will start to lift the ink / litho from the card, so go slowly and constantly check to make sure your cotton buds (change them frequently) are only lifting off the tape residue and not ink / colour from the cardback. Here's a Greedo card before and after I used this process: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Before.jpg"]66209._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="After.jpg"]66208._xfImport[/ATTACH] Best of luck!
