Searching for something else here (smile.amazon is calling it quits for most donations as of 2/2023), but wanted to comment on my post. A solid smooth rubber "rotary eraser" does not do well on pinstripe or seal adhesive, a "blocky tractor tire" type rotary adhesive remover wheel works better.
If carefully done, a really sharp wood chisel can scrape tape and glue off. I have tested on scrap, but it's a learned technique.
