Paul or Steve,

Did you ever find that this product could dull or remove the shiny surface of modern poster paper? Or was that all A-OK, too?

Jeff, I've only tried it on one modern poster that was shiny, and as the tape had not been on long, you couldn't tell it had been there at all. Not a mark on the paper.

I'll have a look through my pile of posters that need stuff doing, and if I find anything, I'll post some pics...

Thanks, Paul. I only have a couple rolled modern posters that have some tape on them - and it's on the back.

So I will give it a go, as well.

No Bestine here, I use this product, heptane based (my own photo hehe):


Thanks, didn't know about that - will give it a go.

Bunnings have it 30% cheaper than that Art Supplier: http://goo.gl/783xs

Mitre 10 list it as a stock item but don't price it (grrr)

Had tape on all four corners, not any more. Worked at treat. It even removed a dirty spot in the fold line of the poster.











Thanks Paul and Steve. (And Dog Face because I had a $10 Bunnings Gift card in my wallet  ;))

And very easy too, I just peeled it back nice and slow.

Paul's right again, just think of the bucks you save doing it yourself.

I remember you did a ripper job on your AFOD daybill, Chris.

Matt, recommendation is a small hobby knife not a machete.

Being three feet away from the poster was a bit of a challenge, but I managed ok.

Thanks Paul, this is very helpful. I have one which is in desperate need of care/ tape removal. Mine has tape burns though the real prob is the paper loss so will need to be very careful.




And I HATE with passion this ugly awful (....) sticker  moron1. I will give it a go

Do be careful with that Rosa, the tape looks like it's folded over on it's self.... which is a pain. Work on the smaller edges of the tape first. Opening them out before starting on the main side which is the side on your photo.  Hope that makes sense...

Be careful with that snipe too - I can attest to having skinned a poster before trying to get one of those off  >:(

Rosa, the small MGM/UA snipe is a part of the history of the poster/card. Are you sure you want to remove that?  :-\
