To remove it you have to literally twist it off, its held on there really really really darn well.

Once its removed, you can remove the excess, spray some brake cleaner or water and remove the residue.

More or less, when we apply VHB, we expect to never take it off again. Its been great for the radio/lexan in certain spots and misc other items.

In 2011, we used VHB tape to keep our steel strip on our minibot ramp down.

Its also great for pulling pranks (taping the toolbox shut and taping my coke can to a desk, silly kids)
