Well... that didn't go as planned

Post by Proto »

Opps

Well my plan was to mount perscription lenses in my Bucket. I covered the green lenses with masking tape (good 3M stuff) to protect them from scratching. At least that WAS the plan.

Imagine my surprise when I pulled off that masking tape and adhesive residue that was left behind. A tough residue that is foiling my efforts to get it off. This tape is NOT supposed to do that. :mad: I feel that the only way to get the residue off will fog the lenses.

Any ideas? Either to get the adhesive off? (without fogging the lenses) Or, a source for replacement? (local would be nice)

Goo Gone works great for removing adhesive residue.
