[SML] Spike tape

[Daniel Ayers]

What is the temperature of your floor?

Use a heat gun for heat shrink, the heat will release the adhesive and it
should come up without damage to your floor. This works until the adhesive
solidifies into the white crusty stuff. This technique may leave a gooey
sticky residue behind which can easily be wiped clean with a terry-rag
soaked in goof-off (follow instructions on the bottle, don't apply heat
from the heat gun to the chemical. Goo-Gone also works but is a little
slower.

Should work for all brands of tape until they reach that crusty dried out
state.
