Re: [padg] crusty tape residue

[Gillian Boal <gboal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recommend carefully and gently scraping the residue with a blunt knife
ormicrospatula - depending whether the substrate is sturdy enough for
mechanical removal- then to use a pick-up eraser (rubber cement eraser)
for anything left.
