How do I do it???

It's stuck on with that strong Scotch tape that the Telrad base comes with.

Any tips on how to remove it without taking half the OTA's paint job?

Cheers

Yep Acetone, or your wife, or partners nail polish remover.

Matt, saw through the tape with dental floss making an effort to cut it as close as possible to the OTA and then heat the residue with a hair dryer and roll it up as you go. Good Luck, Greg.

Thanks Greg.

That's along the same lines as some info I've received via pm...

so it must be on the money:)

The missus will be happy I'm keeping my hands off her nail polish remover;)

You can do the final cleanup with eucalyptus oil if it is necessary.
