Hi guys. It has been a long time since I`ve posted here; even the look of the forums has completely changed in the meantime. My problem is this; I recently removed some chrome trim from the gas tank of my new motorcycle. It seems to have been installed with some extremely sticky double-sided tape at the factory; MUCH worse than what I have bought OTC in the past to attach badges etc. on cars.
The trim came off very easily but the tape simply doesn`t want to. I first tried just scraping it off gently with my fingernails which didn`t work, whether I tried it cold or after heating up the tape with a hairdryer. I then used Goo Gone and when that failed, some WD-40 and that too, did nothing. I used my wife`s nail file but the angle of the tape`s positioning is such that I can`t try to file it without coming in contact with the paint event if I mask off the area around it.
I scrape the edges and they move up a little but but not much. I have gotten very little of the tape off so far and am extremely frustrated. There HAS to be an easier way!
