How to Remove Scotch Tape From Wood
- 1). Spray a small amount of WD-40 onto the scotch tape and allow the lubricant to set on the tape surface for a few minutes. The lubricant formula of WD-40 will begin to break down the sticky adhesive of the tape.
- 2). Use the backside of your thumbnail and gently pry the edge of the tape off of the wood. The tape will become a little gooey as the lubricant dissolves the adhesive.
- 3). Spray another small amount of the WD-40 onto the remaining glue that is on the wood surface.
- 4). Gently buff the wood with a clean soft cloth. Any remaining adhesive will be pulled off of the surface of the wood.
- 5). Use the damp soapy sponge to clean up any residue of the lubricant remaining on the wood finish.
