Tip - Removing the sticky adhesive
I've found that soaking a handful of these nylon anchors in lacquer thinner for a couple of minutes seems to work best at removing the sticky tape. After soaking, grab a corner and peel the tape off and discard, dunk the anchor once more to remove any left over adhesive, then wipe dry.
I have tried acetone, mineral spirits, rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, razor blades, and physically heating the anchor with varying amount of success (or failure). I don't recall trying out MEK. What else have you all found that works well?
Like others have mentioned, I've had good success w/ E-6000 industrial adhesive. I used to have difficulty finding it but later discovered that "Academy Sports and Outdoors" carried it in the marine/fishing section (IIRC).
