[@ajpountney]

omg i love people like you, just ordinary people that take the effort to share their knowledge for other people. thank you for this

[@Uunidentifiedd]

She’s not ordinary she’s a star

[@GamerGrade]

Shame this comment didnt spur her on to make more videos!

[@stevegilden440]

@@GamerGrade she is very shy

[@sm630]

I like your voice 😅, it helps soothe the frustration of trying to get off the adhesive foam

[@StellaPhotis]

Sticky back tape is glue. Cover with a cloth and iron over the top with a hot iron. It will heat up the glue and you can remove it in one with the cloth - Very easy! ;)

[@brookem2598]

Stella Photis this works with the white foam things on the wall still right? 😂 (prolly won't respond bc it was months ago buttt 😂)

[@shanice8351]

Brooke M I think it should work, give it a go

[@StellaPhotis]

@@brookem2598 Can't see why not! Have you tried it yet?

[@invyq9438]

Its 2022 right now, i stuck up a stranger things poster with sticky foam pads and my mum got so angry at me bc of the foam bits left behind. I tried this and it came off soo quickly. Tysm

[@StellaPhotis]

@@invyq9438 LOL.... I'm so glad I helped you. This is knowledge that will stay with you for life. I hope your mum gave you a big smile afterwards ;)

[@Swordsnstuff]

Thanks for this! I've got a PVC porch and the previous owner had their doorbells up with these sticky tabs. Looking forward to getting rid of them!

[@MikaylaStory]

I used club soda and napkins to remove a foam sheet from my stainless steel refrigerator. The tip about using a dry surface definitely helps a ton! Thank you!

Jane-you are a 🌟 thank you! Made my Friday evening so much easier!

[@FrankyDee63]

well done on reaching nearly 200,000 Jane. Life can be a rollercoaster

[@alexanderk6515]

Old video but thank you Jane❤️just got my first car today and removed a sticker with foam and I’m about to remove it

[@ollie4king]

Reeeeaaaalllllly wasn’t looking forward to trying to remove my sticky pads but this method did it with ease.

[@shaunsmith2890]

Thank you for this brilliant suggestion of White Spirit and Cotton Wool. It really works so well!

[@loxleyclarke2735]

WD40 really works on tape adhesive spray it on marks rub it with your fingers leave for 20 seconds and rub off with cotton wool and it will not take off any paint.

[@Ghost-un6oe]

What isa white spirit? Is that the same as rubbing alcohol?

[@sonychka]

Thank you, I put up a photo collage wall (stupidly using mounting tape) and I had four pieces of sticky foam on each picture with 100 pictures, I wasn’t interested in taking a whole day on four hundred pieces of mounting tape on my wall so this along with the tips in the comments are really saving my ass.

[@stevegilden440]

Sonya Orak glad it helped.

[@jdm8532]

Jane, you're a legend! Thanks!

[@PowerStruggle555]

good tip. i live in an apartment and the bedroom has no overhead light source so go a led light switch but realized adhesive is pretty darn strong. i will live in apartment for another year or so. so worried about when i move how to remove.

[@BossMax511]

This helped me a LOT thank you!

[@HA-hp6ui]

Thank you. I Had eight small mirrors and was dreading this job but it was ridiculously easy. I used a sturdy dry cloth after the white spirit rub, and it all came off. There's absolutely no marks on the wall.

[@stevegilden440]

H A Glad you found it helpful.

[@krazypeople4]

I can't believe i didn't think about grabbing a knife...

[@jerrysifuentes3548]

Thanks for the valuable tip. The suggestion of using mineral spirits worked for me. I also used Gorilla Masking tape to help peel the gooie adhesive on the door I cleaned.

[@stevegilden440]

Glad it worked for you.

[@carolineg.9356]

Thank You for this advise.

[@hongjooryu8015]

Thank you a lot! This helped me a lot. The cotton ball was the most important material I should say. I had old sticker stains that used to be covered with mirror tiles on the entire walls. Now it is cleaned and ready to paint. I'm so happy! Except I spilled the white spirit......half of them while I was cleaning... on the floor....HAHAHA

[@stevegilden440]

So pleased it worked for you - we were the same, delighted we could paint the wall (but we didn’t spill the white spirit)!

[@Cee1003]

I use Zoff adhesive remover wipes. Great for crafting. Stumbled across the via my porter partner who brought me a few home to clean foam residue off scissors. They are brilliant.

[@lils4403]

this was a life saver thank you so much, removed instantly!!

[@stevegilden440]

So pleased it worked for you.

[@drrcguptabiochemistry]

Good tip! I did the same using a hand sanitizer.

[@zazkegirotron]

paint thinner wouldn't ruin my wall?

[@jxspr4741]

thank you! this worked amazingly

[@stevegilden440]

Glad it helped!

[@duannamf]

Thank you! From Brazil ❤️

[@stephaniematthews107]

Amazing! Thanks!

[@supreme986]

I used a sticky pad remover 🙂

[@pumpkinpie7254]

I ( always keep WD40 around ). It has SO many uses and glue seems to hate it. Only I've never tried it on adhesive that is bound to paint especially flat paint. So I'm just throwing this out there. I think if all else was to fail I would try to spray it on a q-tip and give it a whirl.

[@minniemouse1357]

It worked! Thank you

[@brimmae1354]

Thank you sooo much, it worked amazing! I used spray hand sanitizer, and it worked just as well

[@stevegilden440]

Glad it worked for you!

[@saniamusharraf4953]

This made my padded tape removed very easily

[@stevegilden440]

Glad it helped.

[@code_solutions]

Way to go, jane

[@blackaccchaii8249]

I don't know y KZbin recommend this but what I did is cut and put normal pvc wallpaper and put foam wallpaper on that so when I remove the foam it's very easy and wall also fine

[@usetobeasurferchick]

Denatured alcohol works best on any glued surface. Regular alcohol will work, but not as easily or fast.

[@udreaalexandra8959]

Genius!

[@steveperez3501]

Heat gun and scraper still leaves a residue

[@-amirachouk3967]

Thank you!! My walls and my mother thank you

[@stevegilden440]

Glad it worked!

[@Hannah-if1qb]

It's actually far quicker and easier to use a hairdryer on it.

[@eddiegrondin7763]

What about in wood, would it work the same?

[@stevegilden828]

Not sure. Give it a go.....

[@danieltyler920]

I love you it worked a dream

[@ronaltbrote4878]

Hi, thank you for the tip. Can you put the link of the product? I live in israel and can’t find it

[@stevegilden440]

Not sure a UK link would be any good. If it is just search B&Q or Screwix. It goes by other names: White spirit (UK & Ireland)[note 1] or mineral spirits (US, Canada), also known as mineral turpentine (AU/NZ), turpentine substitute, and petroleum spirits, is a petroleum-derived clear liquid used as a common organic solvent in painting.[1] There are also terms for specific kinds of mineral spirits, including Stoddard solvent and solvent naphtha (petroleum). Mineral spirits are often used as a paint thinner, or as a component thereof, though paint thinner is a broader category of solvent. Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) have been refined to remove the more toxic aromatic compounds, and are recommended for applications such as oil painting.

[@RCPLANET1962]

I ain’t got time for that lol thank you

[@brazenbunnies]

Cotton wool. Is that like aluminum steel? What language is this?

[@stevegilden440]

Paul S in the US cotton wool is called cotton ball or absorbent cotton. In England we call it cotton wool.

This doesn’t even work wtf

[@lekcorpuz]

What are the materials again?? I didnt get your accent is too difficult to follow

[@stevegilden440]

I suspect the ingredient you need is white spirit. This is from Wikepedia: White spirit (UK & Ireland)[note 1] or mineral spirits (US, Canada), also known as mineral turpentine (AU/NZ), turpentine substitute, and petroleum spirits, is a petroleum-derived clear liquid used as a common organic solvent in painting.[1] There are also terms for specific kinds of mineral spirits, including Stoddard solvent and solvent naphtha (petroleum). Mineral spirits are often used as a paint thinner, or as a component thereof, though paint thinner is a broader category of solvent. Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) have been refined to remove the more toxic aromatic compounds, and are recommended for applications such as oil painting. A mixture of aliphatic, open-chain or alicyclic C7 to C12 hydrocarbons, white spirit is insoluble in water and is used as an extraction solvent, as a cleaning solvent, as a degreasing solvent and as a solvent in aerosols, paints, wood preservatives, lacquers, varnishes, and asphalt products. In western Europe about 60% of the total white spirit consumption is used in paints, lacquers and varnishes.[1] White spirit is the most widely used solvent in the paint industry. In households, white spirit is commonly used to clean paint brushes after use, to clean auto parts and tools, as a starter fluid for charcoal grills, to remove adhesive residue from non-porous surfaces, and many other common tasks. The word "mineral" in "mineral spirits" or "mineral turpentine" is meant to distinguish it from distilled spirits (distilled directly from fermented grains and fruit) or from true turpentine (distilled tree resin). You also need a pallet knife and cottonwool. Hope this helps.
