Default !sidemolding today

Took me all of 30 min I have to say, its a great free mod

Just slipped some fishing line behind it to pop it up, pulled it off, and used my thumb to get the tape off. Came off easily.

Thanks, I saw your pics in the other thread and it sealed the deal for me. I had been wanting to do it for a long time but was lazy

Lol the blisters.. Had one on my thumb and my pinki finger(Wtf?). I think it was a combination of the rubbing and the heated adhesive actually burning them. But I popped them, and its all smooth sailing now. I recommend instead of using your finger, a towel instead.. makes it a little less painful.
