When I was a dedicated varmint /turkey hunter I put camo tape on my 11-87 Remington. That was about 10 of 12 yrs ago and yesterday I decided to remove it, yeah, right! It took the better part of 4 hrs to get this mess off the gun and it is a wonder that the finish stayed intact. It is certainly true that the Lord looks out for fools and children! This was done before I started using my dull finish 870 Express which patterns better anyway. This is the most sticky stuff I have ever seen.
