Very, very slowly while using acetone as a solvent. I'm part sasquatch.

I'm surprised they don't make the adhesive soluble with isopropyl alcohol.

Usually vegetable oil or any other kind of oil works a bit better for removing adhesive without giving yourself a DIY wax

Things you will need for removing stickies:

a) Suffer from temporary insanity;
b) A thick leather belt to chomp on so you don't scream;
c) A friend to continue pulling stickies off you should you faint.

I have experienced scenario C, without the benefit of a friend owing to a large, extremely well secured, bandage on my backside. When it was time to remove it I decided to go into the bathroom and shuck the bandage off like a pair of shorts.

I tried once and immediately blacked out. Upon regaining consciousness I stood up, still fuzzy, and tried again. In total I tried to shuck that bandage off four or five times before I realized it wasn't going to work. It's a miracle I didn't bust my head open on the toilet or tub.

I think that my heart is working properly again. I almost broke a heavy bag tonight.

Suspend the macho activities until you've been checked out and given the go-ahead to do strenuous exercises.
