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

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

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

Right. When it’s had time to bond literally nothing gets that stuff off except for brute force. And “rolling” it like he says only gets a thing surface off at a time and really fucks up your fingers after awhile.

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.

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

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

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

love these tips and tricks videos, so useful.

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.

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

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.

Hmm… I have one of those with a scraper tool. I may have to try that instead of the heat gun. You are correct. The heat gun could warp the part.

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

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

Thanks so much. You really relieved my frustrations.

You’re the best dude! Great video

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

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.

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

Nice submariner Brian.

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

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

Very informative

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.

WD 40 works great to. And a single edge razor blade will not scratch a wind shield.

Thank you worked perfectly

Thank you very much.

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.

Thank you

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

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

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

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

amazing

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

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

Off course try this after a week!

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

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.

If you put a full stop after the word "fresh", I wouldn't have to look at what you wrote a couple of times in order to get it. Sorry, maybe that's because I'm not a native speaker!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

watch ammonyc's videos, i think he pours hot/warm water on it while pulling on it, seems to work for him. now the residue, that's some other thing. good luck. :)

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

“Uh oh we got one that can see” 😳😎

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

Floss

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.

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.

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.

Never knew that was a thing until today. Got my thumb all scrunched up rolling a piece of adhesive. Steamer and goo gone for the second one worked flawless. If you have brush attachments brush the hot adhesive off and use the goo gone for residue.

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

lol awkward😂😂😂

Goo gone is great. WD40 is even better. Just let it soak in and there's no sticky stuff in the world can resist it.

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

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.
