More likely to eat plastic, though, in my experience.

That's exactly what i was thinking. I thinking isopropyl alcohol should be good enough, and I don't think it'll eat the plastic.

I have had lots of success with WD40 and removing various adhesives.

I would stay away from alcohol. Different types of plastics do not react well with isopropyl alcohol.

Depending on where and what you are removing. Try using a wooden artists knife (toothpick, chopstix, etc.) and put some WD40 on the tape and work the two parts apart. Adding more WD-40 as needed.

Good luck!

The best idea is to only use 3M VHB in the first place. It comes off clean. I know that doesn't help your current situation, but it may save you in the future.

We recently has to take some vinyl (like car window vinyl) off a toolbox. Mineral Spirits was the only thing that did the trick without removing paint. Long working time too.
