I was talking to a tape manufacturer the other day and she asked what we used to break the bond. I said 'either lace release or 90% rubbing alcohol.' She then asked me if I've ever used olive oil. I said no. Has anyone ever tried this to remove a unit?

Any "oil" should work. The only problem is that you've got to make sure you get the lace REALLY clean after or else your glue/tape won't adhere very well for your next attachment.

Thanks for testing that out, Fred. Sounds like it is more hassle than it's worth. But if you're in a pinch and don't have lace release or rubbing alcohol on hand then it's an alternative to get the job done.
