That's what they make X-acto knives for.

Right. Of course -- that works with Rescue Tape, but it doesn't work at all with 3M Mastic tapes -- they are a real PITA to remove.

I never reuse "taken off" tape.

Of course not. The difference is the time it takes. I unwrap the Scotch 88 outer layer, then slit along the length of cable and the Rescue Tape peels off in a few seconds! I considered myself doing well to get Mastic off in 15 minutes! The mastic I'm talking about is 3M 2228. The reason for unwrapping the 88 is so that I don't damage the cable's outer jacket.

I just ordered a box of Scotch 130C to have on hand.

Thanks and 73, Jim K9YC
