Best way of removing thermal adhesive from RAM sinks

[perfection]

I just bought a set of these (http://www.petrastechshop.com/enbmpufocora.html) and i found out the stickyness isn't entirely good (after 6 or 7 wiggles, I can get it of the RAM chip) and I'm concerned that they'll fall off.

I also bought some Sekisui (http://www.pccasegear.com.au/prod4712.htm) thermal tape which I know is alot stickier than the stuff that comes with my Enzotech ram sinks, so now the question is, what is the best way of getting the thermal tape of without buying any of the Arctic PuriClean stuff.

Just with using things found around the home, I'm thinking of using a razor and scrapping it off and then cleaning the base with some metho? that's all I have :(

Acetone will take off TIM and any adhesives I've ever encountered.

I usually use a very small amount of baby oil to remove adhesives and then clean it off with some acetone

I used a razor to cut most of it, it scratched the base :( but it doesn't matter much to me, as I wont be seeing it, the acetone made it alot easier to clean it after the cut
