Default no more nails etc (STIXALL)

Does anyone know for sure that STIXALL will stick to itself? I have had
to pull up a plastic channel that a door threshold slots into and I
can't get all the STIXALL up from the bitumen floor.

Heat it with a hair dryer, or a heat gun if you have one, and it should
loosen enough to scrape off.

Pretty sure it does, I use it quite a bit and sometimes have to go over
previously-applied bits. With the exception of grease and soap it sticks
to practically anything.

Thanks for that, but I'll try John Stumbles way first as there is, what
I suspect, a man made fiber carpet very close and it would mean taking
the carpet off the gripper.
