Removing EZ-Lip

[Pauly99to17]

Replacing my ripped lip. Started without heat. Ripped all the rubber off. Only the 3M tape remains. Dam, 3M makes an outstanding product. That is going to take some time to take of. Hahah. Will try blow dryer and plastic putty tool from a paint shop.

Ya, once I get most of the tape off I'll hit it with some of that to get rid of the left overs. It doesn't have to be perfect because another lip is going in the same place.

What about a real heat gun? It might go quicker

Interesting idea. Have you tried this before?

Bought one a few years back to remove tint and it works wonders. The steam breaks down adhesive almost instantly. Just run a microfiber towel over the surface afterwards and you're golden.

Update: 3M tape gone. Took about 45 minutes. I used a hair dryer at max. heat. I propped the hair dryer pointed at a spot for about a minute and then worked on it. Always keeping the hair dryer in advance of where I was working. I could take off about 2 or 3 inches at a time while the dryer was heating up the next section. Not fun, but not too bad either.

Make sure your plastic putty knife is a solid type. I had two. The cheap dollar store one got way too flexible working in the heat and was useless.
