- 1). Cut a short piece of the fishing line, and wrap it around your index fingers on both of your hands, just as if you were going to floss your teeth with it.
- 2). Press your fingers up against the surface on either side and on the top side of the tape. Work the line down into the tape, as close as you can to the surface it is mounted on.
- 3). Use a back and forth motion with your fingers to cut through the tape until it comes off; again, like you are flossing.
- 4). Spray the 3M adhesive remover (it was designed for just this kind of work) onto the remnants of tape and adhesive that were left behind after Step 3.
- 5). Add more 3M remover to a rag and scrub off the residue. It will take some elbow grease and applying more remover, but this process will get the mounting tape off.
