Deb,
Terrific! You've solved a longtime minor proble for me. Except that I
have no idea what a prewash treatment is. Is it that stuff that they
sell in a spray bottle at the supermarket?

Mark,
I have found that almost any adhesive that is used on stickers or
tape, be it packing tape, duct tape, or Chistmas wrap tape, can be
removed by saturating with any brand of prewash treatment and then
wiping with a paper towel. I know of a woman who removed 10 years
worth of teenagers' sports and bumper sticker adhesive from a luan
door: no damage, no scraping. I use the same method to get rid of the
mess left by those pesky price labels: works everytime. My only
disclaimer is that I don't recommend it on wallboard...prewash
treatments tend to be oily.

No doubt
The issue with the tape is the adhesive bonds to the surface it is
stuck to and then with weather and time the bond between the
backing on the tape and the adhesive layer weakens. Once this
happens, when you try to lift the tape you are left with a nasty
mess. Almost no solvent will lift it.
Read the fine print on the tape. If it says 7 days then don't
leave it on longer.

I wonder if a little wax on the fittings would make the tape
easier to remove.
