Thanks a lot man. You have no idea how frustrated I got before I thought there must be a better way and found this video. Also my 2 cents. Once it is hot, instead of using the scraper, try pulling it out with fingers while heating the area just where it is coming unstuck. Works way easier once you have about an inch or 2 pulled as it saves your hands from the hot air.

You can do it in half the time if you put a thin piece of toilet paper and apply the heat of an iron for a while. Then you scrape it with regular masking tape. The scraper can scratch the surface of the wall. Just my 2 cents as another option.

How do you get the item that you've stuck to the wall off before having to attempt removing the goo off the wall? I stuck 2 solar security lights to my gutters with that nano tape stuff and I need to take them down to replace the batteries but they are well and truly stuck! (It certainly is good sticking stuff, but by golly, it's a nightmare to undo what you've done).

Does the Wd40 leave an oily residue on drywall that's painted white with a thin coat of cheap paint? Would the WD40 make it turn yellow? Sorry, I can't tell from your video. I have to buy some strong tape to hold plastic to prevent drafts because the removable kind keeps falling off & unfortunately, it has to go onto the drywall of my rental. I could do some touch up paint, but anything that would be extremely visible after I paint it would make me lose a chunk of my security deposit. It has to cover a broken through the wall A/C unit. So, I'll be leaving the tape & plastic up for 18 months( if it will stay up that long, but I doubt that.) Any suggestions of a brand or type of tape would be extremely helpful as I have to order some online as soon as possible. Thanks for the tips!

To be honest i would not reccomend the plastic and double sided tape to solve the problem unless the draft is not strong or you are going to add a few screws in there cause the tape can just rip the dry wall paper cover off. To fill a screw hole in dry wall is easy to do and is not time consuming check this tutorial www.diynetwork.com/how-to/rooms-and-spaces/walls-and-ceilings/how-to-repair-cracks-and-holes-in-drywall if it feels difficult for you there could be another solution.

@@elliotsherman9894 I think they should do a test on a small area on the wall near the baseboard first because I think it depends on the paint used on the wall. Your wall may have an oil based or high gloss paint with several coats. Some one else may have a cheaper quality flat paint with 1 coat and a base paint and it will leave a dark spot. If this is the case all you have to do is use wide clear box tape and rub across the adhesive. Tape adhesive removes tape adhesive.
