Collector245 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Hi, I recently got a window retailer box from the 1960s. I was wondering if there was a good way to take the tape off the sides without damaging the box. The box really is not damaged under the tape so I do not really know why it was put there in the first place. Any help is appreciated. Quote
MAB Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Heat from a hair drier. Start as cool as you can go then gradually increase if it does not start to come off. Quote
Collector245 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Posted November 28, 2019 Sounds good. I will try that. Quote

Collector245 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Posted November 29, 2019 What I meant was somebody wrapped tape around the top of the box. If I were to cut through it, the box would be ruined. Quote
Collector245 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Posted November 29, 2019 @MAB Your technique worked very well. I was able to get the tape off with only little to no damage to the box. Thanks for your help. Quote
Driver Brandon Grumman Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 @Collector245 Then in that case, MAB had the better idea and ac wording to you, it worked. Quote
