You are going to want some glue remover. I used 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner.

I flossed the hell out of mine, and it started to come off where I could use my fingers to pull it off. Dental floss works but you'll be using a lot of it cause its not that strong.


My floss was Waxed and minty

Floss... followed by Goo Gone and then wash the area thoroughly when you're done... if its cool out, ya might wanna warm it up by using a hairdryer or something to soften the glue before flossing....
