old masking tape

[Ron W4RON]

I've removed petrified masking tape from old 
radios, and cardboard boxes many times and I've 
always had great success using a blow drier. 
Patience is needed as I've found it best to go 
slow and let the heat penetrate the tape. 
So far it's worked every time for me.
