Thanks, Gus Fring.

The floss worked for an even harder situation than your demo, where the tape was hidden behind a large flat clock and so the tape wasn't accessible. Loved this, thank you!

It worked magic. I had a very strong adhesive tape on my new Samsung phone. This trick got it removed very easily without any mark. Thank you do much

yeah its a lot easier when it hasn't been on there for 5-10 years

Great to see you Brian, haven’t seen you since cnet days , you always cracked me up. Hope all is good. You are a professional. Cheers from a fan.

Echoing others here, had dash cam on for 3 years, and this method worked great, thanks!

Excellent. Great tutorial that provided exactly what I need. Thanks a bunch!

love these tips and tricks videos, so useful.

Wow I use to watch this dude do car reviews in iTunes CNET back in 2012. Nice to see his face again

First time I've seen this channel. This guy's terrific.

Lovely tutorial, so smartly done. And great theatricality in the presentation too - entertaining!

WOW. Thank you so much for sharing, I'm in the process of moving and I've been trying for days to remove one of my prized pictures without damaging it or tearing the pain off the wall and this video did it for me, I used dental floss and OMG it came right off. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks. I was afraid that I'd crack my windshield trying to remove my dashcam with the "lever" tool they included for removal, but the idea to use dental floss is brilliant.

This is an amazing tip! Thanks so much - worked like a charm.

Thanks so much. You really relieved my frustrations.

Just the video I needed to see. I wanted to know how to remove tape from dash. Thanks!!

You’re the best dude! Great video

This is very helpful, thank you

Good show thanks I put it in the wrong spot but I wasn’t thinking the other day. I should have put it where I initially wanted it to go. Always go with your first choice.

Very useful and helpful thank you

Applying tension to looped dental floss with one hand while applying minor pealing force with the other hand worked for me! Thanks!!

Steamers are great for softening the glue without the risk of overheating like a heat gun. That’s what they use to remove window tint and clear bras from car paint.

Very informative

Thank you very much.

Thank you worked perfectly

Nice submariner Brian.

Thank you

I just wait for a hot summer day and that's it

Could you do a top 5 things that we in the states are waiting for to be okayed, like side cameras instead of side mirrors, etc?

Reducing the amount of adhesive also makes a difference. Reduce the stickum by 50 percent and in most cases the camera will stay on just as well. Or change to velcro type sticker.

masking tape trick works for me as long as you do it in a very high frequency, low amplitude stick and pull

amazing

Cooley for President!

I bought a car with that old school gps circle disk attachment and it’s an eyesore that I have yet to remove. Thank you

No way Gus Fring showing us how to properly remove 3m tape

Funny, you learn this when you have to do it ♡

Coconut oil is a fantastic adhesive remover. Coat it and give it a few minutes then scrub with a paper towel

Goo Gone can damage non-glass surfaces. De-Solv-it is much more forgiving. A Hair Dryer & a Scotty Peeler (metal or plastic) are also helpful.

To remove that little bit of leftover; use the same piece you removed but is still clean/sticky. Stab the leftover part. Sometime a quick stab works, sometime a slow stab. This stuff, and others, stick better to itself than to other things. Price tags, stickers, tape. It doesn’t work all the time but is always the first thing I try for it is the easiest. Works best on hard/slick surfaces

Off course try this after a week!

Cool

Does the tape glue adhesive damage the dash in the long run?

I just did the thing with the floss too. I coincidentally have the same camera. It is 4K but really the picture quality just is not what I would expect. It is chock full of compression artifacts and any frames extracted may as well have been paintings!! Anyhow it surprised me how fast the floss got it off. It took almost no effort to get the floss to separate part of that adhesive. I am aware that the foam tape 3M makes is legendary for being so durable. I don't know the full scope of products they do make but 3M is for 3 Ms. They are in Minnesota and do mining and manufacturing. 3M just seems to be an easier name to remember. Try to make everyone remember the long version and it might not catch on as well as the shorter 3M that is so easy to remember that nearly everyone has heard of it. It is as ubiquitous as IBM, a short catchier name for a company behind most of the computers we may be still using to this day.

Very well done video!!!

Great job. Although something to keep in mind is that it is fresh, the longer the adhesive is, the more work it will take to remove it.

Depending on location, use a heat gun set on low. It helped me on a mirror

A car trim tool works just as well, and won’t mark scratch anything.

I have 4 pieces of 10 inch tall stainless steel off of a box side I had to use a putty knife and just started cutting behind it sill trying to get it off the part I have been using alcohol and cut along it with a very sharp putty knife

Heat gun!

You didn't dip the straight razor in a rain barrel and bang it against a curb like Brandon suggested, though.

Well at least I know my red 3m won’t fail anytime soon

Does this work on a dash? I want to mount my dash cam on the dash but don't want to permanently ruin my dash.

i have metal phone holder that i wanna put on my wall well this work for that jw

What about using WD-40?

I just use a rubber wheel like a giant eraser instead of using the drill. Much safer on the paint than the drill.

My dash cam is too havy and it's doesn't stay in plase. What should I do?

Well... let's see if this works on my leather dashboard. Would love more advice if any one else has it for removing that crap off leather.

Try a decade 3m tape tanggalin

What if I stick it to tinted windshield? Will it tear off together with the tint film?

I have an old clear bra might be 10+ years old falling apart discolored too that I'm dreading to take off. Looks awful.

What happens if I apply adhesive to the windshield without cleaning the windshield with rubbing alcohol?

H ji hu😊😊

All things in the universe lead to floss

Not the 3m tape I used

Wish I saw this before I ruined my dashboard!

Floss

heat it with a hair blow dryer and it will come right off lol. heat it before you stick it to make it stick better.

I got 30 pound tape I used for my spoiler and I can't get it off

Those only works on a fresh tape ...try that with many years old tape. It will never work.

At 2:20 the floss was not between the pad and the glass.

lol awkward😂😂😂

Take this video with a grain of salt people. 3M adhesive that has had time to bond and been applied over many years does not come off without brute force. Goo gone doesn’t work either. It will only work once you’ve gotten most of the adhesive off and you’re left with a very thin layer at the bottom. Then and only then will the goo gone eat it away and it will come off.

he shows how to remove tape with nothing on it. lol

Masking tape is too weak. Use packing tape , get a piece or wad of it and rapidly and forcefully dab the residue. Ive done this for years on many things. You could try letting it set on there for a bit 1st I guess , I've never tried that.

Use Gel nail polish remover. Just make sure the surface is made of glass not plastic. Feel free to Call me genius 😌

Who else get blistered thumbs as they watch this

Just let it sit in the sun and your dash cam will fall off

too much talk

I have to 💩. Anyone else 💩 today? Come on be honest.
