how do i get the red protective tape off the second adhesive surface? i can't get it started on my roll to pull it off.

Well, I used my sharp fingernails but I think a carpet cutter, used at a slight angle, should do the trick. It's easier to tape one side to a solid surface and then removing the second side. Trying to do both sides while just holding the tape, causes the tape to stick to its self. Good luck, it works great!

Here is the answer to this annoying time waster. 1) Cut and press down the sticky side of the tape onto the surface. 2) Take an exacto knife or box cutter and make a shallow 'scoring' diagonal cut anywhere on the top of the red upper layer of the tape. 3) Lift up a corner from the end of the diagonal incision with exacto knife or fingernails and peel off easily. Takes 5 seconds or less.

I just checked the remainder of my roll. If you cut a sharp end off the tape and start with your finger nail at one corner, you should be able to get it off. Mine took only a second.

It was, indeed, a challenge, but I used a cheap Exacto knife and a lot of patience to finally "lift" the red stuff up. The challenge was worth the effort, though, as the product works very well (even here in West Central Florida).

Hello, I would return the faulty roll back to Amazon so they can actually see your ssue. It is possible that the roll is defective. They should be able to provide a replacement or partial credit for the defective roll.Generally, this brand of tape works well every time. I have had no problems using it.Hope this helps as well!

Hey Jim: So the instructions are on the little sticker that's on the device. You just need to peel it back. That said, if you have the one shown, face it in the manner shown in the above picture. Then, place the tape on the roll so it is unwinding on the left. Run the tape down through the bottom opening, and then bring it up around the rotating wheel on the left bottom corner.

Changed the roll many times. If I remember correctly the one side screws off and then you are able to remove. I will double check but this has not been an issue.

I've reused mine 3 times so far. Just go to walmart and buy a roll of the 3m double sided sticky tape. Cut to size of the lock and stick. And removing was a sinch. I just got a eating knife and stuck it in the corner gave it a little life and it popped off. No mess , scratches. Clean off.

we had to press on the board with our thumb right where the shrink wrap is and pull out with tweezers...it was a pain but sometimes we were lucky and large strips came out....good luck

I think you may have to use additional adhesive, e.g. more doublesided tape. Ours didn't hold up very well with just the tape they included, so we had to add another layer.

I haven't tried, but I'm guessing a little heat MIGHT soften the adhesive enough that you could pull it off, OR, a little coconut oil, butter or shortening might work. Also, a product called goof off might do it.

time and ease. I used a few Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and had cleaner wax to rub it off. Good luck.

I dont know if you bought this from us or another company, but I will help you from here ;) Take a credit card or grocery bonus card (something plastic and flat) and rub the application tape (plastic) thoroughly to make sure the vinyl is completely adhered to the wall. Beginning at a corner, start peeling the app tape off of the lettering SLOWLY. if a letter comes up with the plastic, press down on the app tape using the card and rub, then try pulling up a little more. Patience is the key here. Most of the time you will not have a problem with the lettering or font used on this item, but some fonts and designs can be quite "hairy" and the thin lines and points tend to come up. Let me know if you need any further help! Also there are about 80 videos on youtube that have good application advice.

I had this problem also. The sheet has been rolled around the two rollers inside the laminator, or it is bunched up right inside where it comes out. You can stick a pair of scissors in there and see if you can get it to come out, but if its around the rollers you need to unscrew the bottom and cut it off the rollers. You could probably also just send it back to amazon, but it will still work after you untangle the mess! It is a great little laminator.

Yes. The instructions suggest using the side with the yellow paper first. Remove the protective yellow paper and apply the double sided adhesive to your target surface. Once applied you remove the white protective paper. That can sometimes be a challenge. If the item you have applied the double sided adhesive will allow, use a piece of masking tape to pull and edge of the white paper up off the double sided adhesive. Once you get an edge started the white paper is easy to remove.

There's a little tab for you to pull. Similar to the 3M hook products that don't damage the walls. The tab pulls the adhesive sticker and it comes off.

You just apply the two sided adhesive supplied with the kit . ( it looks like a black sheet) you have to separate the edges you need. Leave it together as a sheet just peel up the protective film around the edges and applied that way.

I would say YES to remove 0ld liner. how ? I lifted the old liner around the edges with my fingers then was able to just pull and lift it off with my fingers. one came off in sections .the other in one piece in
