Contest Number Removal

When using a hair dryer or especially a heat gun, don't use so much heat
that the tape film you are removing starts to melt or becomes weak.
Sometimes pulling more slowly or at a different angle helps if the pull
speed you are using is leaving adhesive on the surface or is breaking the
tape. Conversely, sometimes pulling a sticker off quickly brings the
adhesive off cleanly, while pulling slowly leaves residue behind - -
experiment.
Point the heat gun at the separation point from the adhesive side. If
you peel at a reasonable rate the glass skin doesn't get more than body
heat warm.
I once tried using the gun on the other side, thinking that it would
pre-soften the adhesive before it got peeled off. Doesn't work. The only
effect was that the vinyl sheet got very soft and kept breaking.
