Removing frag tape from new hsf

What is the best way to remove the already applied shin-etsu frag tape from a heatsink without damaging it?

 

pure alcahol

Meths

Something like that...I've used whitespirit before, but its not as good as the above!

Bit of rubbing, sorted

 

I take it you mean not damaging the heatsink. A hot air paint stripper can help by softening the tape, a plastic ice scraper can also be used to scrape it off. Finally some sort of pharmacy alcohol should remove any last traces.

EDIT: Dead heat postings Phoenix

 

Cheers chaps i'll have a go tomorrow

 

I've used loads of things, I find the Whiskey is pretty good though i've actually used a lot of those household cleaners which remove sticky gunk "goo-gone" was the best, I cleaned my processor off with it nicely

 

Used one of those blades to scrape the tape off and use clinique scruffing lotion for me to remove the sticky bits left behind.

 

Brinkmanship to the last eh?

cheers, I've done it now, there was a bloody scratch under the tape anyway
