Removing Tape From a Wooden Door
- 1). Saturate the tape with vegetable oil. You can pour it or sponge it over the tape, then let it sit for five to 10 minutes so it can begin loosening the tape adhesive. Carefully peel the tape away, applying more vegetable oil as needed.
- 2). Coat the tape with vinegar before going to bed. The acid from the vinegar will eat away at the adhesive but will leave the paint on the door intact. Pull the tape off the door when you wake up in the morning.
- 3). Spray the tape and surrounding area with a water-displacing spray, such as Rocol or WD-40. Wait five to 10 minutes for the spray to work its magic on the tape adhesive. Peel the tape away slowly, spraying more water-displacing spray if need be.
- 4). Spread peanut butter over the tape on the wood door. Peanut butter actually works as a lubricant, because of the peanut oil. Give the peanut butter five minutes to detach the adhesive from the wood so that you can pull it free.
