SJ Dec 15, 2011 12:17AM EST

I would like to reuse an LED which is currently stuck to its project with thermal tape. Any tips for getting it free and cleaning off the tape?

That can be difficult, especially if the LED has been in place for a long time. If you are very careful, it is possible to pry the LED off. Warming up the LED and heat sink with a heat gun may make it easier.

Isopropyl alcohol works well for cleaning off the residue.
