[QUOTE="Tom Mackay, post: 2506999, member: 4589"]It was not coming off and I wasn't prepared to devote time to a lengthy surgical procedure. I declared the patient expired. So off came the paper layer of the tape and then with aggressive scrubbing, using a synthetic woven kitchen scrubber, off came enough of the glue to see what was under. Considering it had soaked since yesterday in label remover I had to work harder than expected.
