A:Answer The adhesive provided on the Cordmate II, as well as our other raceways, bonds to the wall quite strongly. This is very desirable in most applications. However,if you try to remove the Cordmate II from the wall after it sticks it is likely to cause some damage. It will either leave behind a residue which will be difficult to clean or pull some of the surface of the drywall with it as it comes off.
If that happens, here as some suggestions as to what you can do to remove the tape residue:
The double-sided adhesive used on the back of the raceway has a foam core that can be cut with a razor blade if you are very careful. Use a "filet" technique, pulling up as you go. Then you'll be left with about 1/2 the thickness of the tape still on the wall. You might try rubbing what is left on the wall off manually, wearing rubber gloves. Or you can try scraping it off with a putty knife.
If the wall has a gloss finish then you can also consider using an alcohol based solvent to remove the tape residue.
If the wall has a flat finish the problem is a bit more difficult because the finish may absorb the solvent that is used.
In all cases, I would suggest that you first try in an area that is not visible.
