I'm just wondering - if at some point I want to remove the tape,
will that be reasonably easy?
Is there any chemical one can use for this purpose?



Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.



Usually not a problem - velcro is mostly stronger than the glue.

The problem for me, is that the velcro comes away, but much of the glue
remains.
