    I was talked into trying tubular tape at the LBS and, long story short, I’m going back to glue. Any shortcuts* to getting this infernal stuff off?

    *ie nasty chemicals

    White spirit, elbow grease, degreaser, soapy water. In that order.

    Hateful stuff.

    Dunno if it’s entirely carbon safe (someone’ll know!), but acetone worked fairly well when I was trying to get vintage residue off some old rims a while ago, the worst of it just turned to chewing gum though & had to be physically scraped off – have since heard that a hairdryer is also your friend here.

    Tell me about it… it’s also pulled the top coat of resin off in two sections
