Just got a second hand frame covered in helicopter tape, looks a bit worn so would like to replace it, after a variety of pulling on one piece left with the glue reside and debris/grit &glue on the frame, what is the best way to clean this off?
Try heating with a hair drier to melt the glue. Should make things a bit easier.

Warm it up,peel it off then whitre spirit to remove the residue.
You ned the right solvent. Nasty stuff called Xylene shifts most residual tape glue. Xylene is a component of Hammerite thinners, which you can (still) buy. Take care with it, very toxic, it's absorbed through the skin, and might take existing paint off (test first).
er that last one sounds nasty......i will avoid for the minute
Try heating with a hair drier to melt the glue
it would appear most forum users have no need for one of these...
Do what i do and just rip it off......
......taking most of your RS Pike decal with it 😐
