I'm trying to use Kapton tape as a transistor insulator. Normally I'd use i=
t as-is with some heatsink grease. But this time I want to first strip off =
the adhesive for better thermal transmission.

My favorite strong solvent is acetone, and it works so-so on 3M 5419 tape, =
but the roll I have is a little narrow. The wide stuff I have is some gener=
ic Chinese tape and its adhesive does not want to come off. I've also tried=
 lacquer thinner, brake fluid and "white gas"(camping fuel). The camping fu=
el comes closest to working but not really.

I'm trying to avoid using gasoline, but it's probably what I'll try next.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bob
