God was that alot more annoying than i thought it would be. Double sided tape is irritating. But i got one side looking nice. The other, the tape teared and left all its residue stuff. Any suggestions on getting it off?

I know, I took it off. Took days to get the residue off!! (Used my thumbs.. and that freaking hurt). Try something like GooGone or something. Or 3M Sticker remover (spray can) it helps a little.

I ended up with blisters on both thumbs after I removed mine.

Mine felt like I rubbed the skin off, lol. It was painful.

I don't suggest using your thumbs!
