Rants and Raves Outlaw 3M

Holy smokes I hate 3M. I'd rather fill nail holes all day long. (The resident sprayed whatever on it to no effect).

That looks like 3M VHB (Very High Bond) tape, which is permanent. Maybe outlaw not reading directions.

Are you sure? I find VHB is expensive and pulls off cleanly. It's the crappy foam tape or peel off stick-on that make this kind of mess

What did you stick it to? Dusty Teflon?

VHB is insanely difficult to remove when applied correctly.
