Can anyone tell me how to remove the plastic covering on the tape. I have used many rolls of mounting in my life, but never clear.

I'm only answering because I had the same trouble at first. I do not mean to offend if you think I'm just stating the obvious. Once you start, leave the covering long and cut the tape from it. It was my instinct to cut all the pieces to size, instead I pealed & cut leaving the covering long and uncut.

you need something thin, like a finger nail or blade and pick at one of the corners. It will be a pain in the beginning, but you will get used to it.

If you cut to size, attach to item, then use a sharp tool ( pocket knife, single edge razor blade, sharp tweezers) pick at one corner and slowly lift the corner. Once started, it will remove easily

Cut a piece of tape off then pick at one of the corners until you can grab the edge and peel off the plastic.

The tape is clear, with a red liner on one side. To use this tape, leave on the red liner while you pull out to the length you need and cut with scissors. Press the sticky (clear) side onto whatever you are taping. With the liner still on, you can press on the tape to make sure it is adhered firmly to your object. Then pick at the corner of the tape until the red liner peels up. Pull off the red liner, leaving the tape stuck to your object. Now you can press the object to the surface where you want it mounted. Press and hold for a few seconds to make sure there is good contact. That's it!

It has been awhile because I received these as gifts Christmas of 2012 and used them for the first time in May of 2013. I remembered that it was difficult. I think that I pulled off or pushed off the plastic by twisting or playing with it. I thought that it was really dumb to have the plastic on there. I think that I did exactly what Roger Williams suggested. Another suggestion, do an online search to see if there is anything that will show you how to do this or tell you exactly how to do it.

They use a lot of 3M tape. If your mirror has a piece broken out, you could put 3M tape where you still have plastic.

I remember this happened to me, too. what I did was to pull out as far as I can then cut the tape off and snapped it in to replace the old one. It got to be a better way to handle it but I couldn't find instruction any about it so that how i did it.

Yes The plastic comes off. But assume the tape will not come off easily and likely will leave discoloration.

I mounted this outdoors under a deck for a cellar entrance and used screws, never giving a consideration at all. I don't remember if tape was supplied with the packaging. Sorry, this doesn't help.

Yes remove the plastic one first by peeling it off starting at a corner. It should peel off very easily. Then follow the screen cleaning/preparation and installation instructions that come with the new screen protector. If you have any more ?'s I will be happy to help as much as I can.

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.

Take a tip from my Scotch Mounting Tape instructions. It's a different product, but I imagine the advice would still work: "Use a piece of dental floss or wire, held tautly between two hands. Pull back and forth, to split the foam, and release the mounted object. Remove the remaining material with citrus cleanser (after testing in an inconspicuous location)."

The YouTube video I followed when installing this said that the tape on the glass needs to be conserved or else you will need to buy replacement tape.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygut0Z4vxBE

Hi. I don't know since I'm not familiar with polyethylene film/sheeting--what would I have at home that I could test it on? It's like regular mounting tape, except super sticky. It is a bit tricky to remove the backing, lol. If you want me to send you a sample, just send me an email with your address to hnomura@aol.com and I'll sent you a piece. What size/length would you like?

It's glued on with 3M tape, and can be pryed off, very carefully working your way around. Ther are some good videos on you tube that show this process.

The tape has a backing which protects the glue. You peel off the backing before you install. Works great!

You can just pull them off. The tape that holds it will probably stay stuck. You can simply use adhesive remover to get it off easily.

I think I peeled the labels off, but you can use Goof Off to remove and wash the rod off before installing.

I placed plastic on the floor and walls where I need it to work with this product, used masking tape at all times and did not removed the plastic until I was done, a couple of drops on the floor, I scraped them with a utility knife blade and cleaned the rest with WD-40. It did the job for me. Hope it helps.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about the answers to your questions. You may want to find the model number & contact the manufacturer. My guess is that the tape is not waterproof.
