How to do this for tape that may have had over 30 years to bond to anodized aluminum? Asking here, as it is part of a restoration project.
I've tried typical automotive cleaners and solvents on residues after scraping. But, it seems the folks at 3M made their tape and its adhesive resistant to them. Nor have they responded to my inquiries.
