Hi,
Is there?
Thanks
Easy way to remove strips from heatsink attached with double sided thermal adhesive tape?
Turn the lights on to get them warm, use a very sharp blade, start from one end and slowly lift while you cut. Sometimes you get lucky and it comes off easy. Try not to cut yourself. If you are not worried about damaging the strips then you can use a heat gun or a hair drier to get it warmed up.

Teknik is giving sound advise. This is what worked for me.

I use a puukko, its a traditional knife that has a pretty thick blade. https://nordiskaknivar.files.wordpress. ... /07/2b.jpg
Not sure if a thin wire would do a good job, I still had to vary between prying and cutting my way in. Maybe the wire works great, let us know
