I have a tip on getting the glue/sticky stuff off.
First it helped me to have a bucket of water/soap nearby and kept wetting it as I went along.
Something else, once you get a hold of one edge of the stickiness. Say your going to start at the left and work towards the right. Instead of pulling towards the right pull the opposite direction lightly. I didn't figure this out until I got to the second side and it worked so much better because the tape/stickiness didn't break off.
It also save my fingernails and fingers from being sore.
Hope that helps and if I can clearify let me know.
