packing tape removal?

[CitizenKate]

Wow! I've never had that much trouble getting packing tape to come free of the leather. I use 3M or Staples "long-life" packing tape most of the time. I've used the cheaper stuff, and it tends to leave adhesive behind, whereas the long-life storage tape comes off clean for me every time. Then I just wax the backs (if I'm not lining it) and rub the fuzz smooth with a burnisher.

Using staples premium clear view

It's just a sissy bar bag and I don't want to take chances on dye running in wet weather so will likely just leave the inside raw and fuzzy ;0)

McJeep,

Thanks for the heads up on what kind of tape it is. I will add that to the "never buy even on sale" list. Clear View and Premium is sort of telling me it may be a label or dual purpose tape which does have a stonger adhesive. I use the carton sealing tape and whatever is on sale. I like the "anything that fits in this bag" deal they have every so often at Office Max. You might be able to rub the adhesive off with a belt cleaning eraser thing. If not and it remains sticky, a little baby powder shook over it will take most of the tackiness away from it. Probably a bit of use and it will collect enough dust to not be tacky also.
