    yeah its a lot easier when it hasn't been on there for 5-10 years

      No kidding. He stuck it on there 30 seconds ago.

      Right. When it’s had time to bond literally nothing gets that stuff off except for brute force. And “rolling” it like he says only gets a thing surface off at a time and really fucks up your fingers after awhile.

    The floss worked for an even harder situation than your demo, where the tape was hidden behind a large flat clock and so the tape wasn't accessible. Loved this, thank you!

    It worked magic. I had a very strong adhesive tape on my new Samsung phone. This trick got it removed very easily without any mark. Thank you do much

    Steamers are great for softening the glue without the risk of overheating like a heat gun. That’s what they use to remove window tint and clear bras from car paint.

    • @samson2143
      @samson2143 Před 5 měsíci

      Hmm… I have one of those with a scraper tool. I may have to try that instead of the heat gun. You are correct. The heat gun could warp the part.

    Thanks. I was afraid that I'd crack my windshield trying to remove my dashcam with the "lever" tool they included for removal, but the idea to use dental floss is brilliant.

  • @GeneralKato
    @GeneralKato Před 3 měsíci

    To remove that little bit of leftover; use the same piece you removed but is still clean/sticky. Stab the leftover part. Sometime a quick stab works, sometime a slow stab. This stuff, and others, stick better to itself than to other things. Price tags, stickers, tape. It doesn’t work all the time but is always the first thing I try for it is the easiest. Works best on hard/slick surfaces

    Goo Gone can damage non-glass surfaces. De-Solv-it is much more forgiving. A Hair Dryer & a Scotty Peeler (metal or plastic) are also helpful.

      WD 40 works great to. And a single edge razor blade will not scratch a wind shield.

  • @afoxyjim6625
    @afoxyjim6625 Před rokem +4

    Reducing the amount of adhesive also makes a difference. Reduce the stickum by 50 percent and in most cases the camera will stay on just as well. Or change to velcro type sticker.

    I just did the thing with the floss too. I coincidentally have the same camera. It is 4K but really the picture quality just is not what I would expect. It is chock full of compression artifacts and any frames extracted may as well have been paintings!! Anyhow it surprised me how fast the floss got it off. It took almost no effort to get the floss to separate part of that adhesive. I am aware that the foam tape 3M makes is legendary for being so durable. I don't know the full scope of products they do make but 3M is for 3 Ms. They are in Minnesota and do mining and manufacturing. 3M just seems to be an easier name to remember. Try to make everyone remember the long version and it might not catch on as well as the shorter 3M that is so easy to remember that nearly everyone has heard of it. It is as ubiquitous as IBM, a short catchier name for a company behind most of the computers we may be still using to this day.

  • @mikehawk8609
    @mikehawk8609 Před 4 měsíci

    Take this video with a grain of salt people. 3M adhesive that has had time to bond and been applied over many years does not come off without brute force. Goo gone doesn’t work either. It will only work once you’ve gotten most of the adhesive off and you’re left with a very thin layer at the bottom. Then and only then will the goo gone eat it away and it will come off.

    Masking tape is too weak. Use packing tape , get a piece or wad of it and rapidly and forcefully dab the residue. Ive done this for years on many things. You could try letting it set on there for a bit 1st I guess , I've never tried that.
