Folks, Suggestions please for removing pesky rim tape, given that I burned out the missus' hair dryer after about 5 mins last night??!! Thanks!
oh the rim tape was an "upgrade" by previous owner!!! I think at least worth 5bhp. some pain in ass to get it off.
I feel sure that some confusion has erupted, I think he said in another post that he was planning to lap the 'ring? What has become of this forum
Seriously, see a doctor. Go private, confidentiality is respected. Don't go squatting over a hairdryer, that's dangerous. Unless you are a trainer hairdresser.
Warm it with a proper heat gun not set too high, when it softens push against the tape with something soft like a piece of wood or plastic spatula and see if it starts to come away and then see if you can pick it off. A hair dryer is not the best thing to use and also it may not be even hot enough to soften the tape.
a hair dryer should get plenty hot enough to do the job, it's only plastic tape. use wd40 on any residue left after peeling the sticker off.
