Is it just a case of warm it with a hairdryer and peel it off?
If so, does it leave a residue and how do you remove that?
Many thanks.

Dip it in something that melts carbon then simply remove the now unattached invisiframe.

For sticky residue, isopropyl works very well but does it affect carbon ?

I've never had any problem just peeling it of mine, no residue left on it.

It won't affect carbon, or the epoxy

IPA is fine, as is ethanol. It's what we use to degrease composites quite regularly.

Hairdrier to soften the glue so you dont peel the lacquer/paint off.
