Finger Dimple

[KR4OW]

Hi All I My finger Dimple on the k2 come off on me
during field day and the little double sided adhesive
strip folded up.
So. How can I Get that off without tearing up or
defacing the knob?
And where can I locate the double side stuff that was
used to begin with. I do not wish to "super" Glue it
back on. Any suggestions. Also I was thinking of
machining the knob to recess the finger dimple. Has
anyone out there did that? I am not sure how solid the
knob is or if has a hollow core.
Thanks

David,

    Not sure about some of it, but WD-40 does "loosen" many adhesives
and will probably work on that one. Also, most adhesives of this type
can be removed by rubbing them off just using your finger.

    As to the rest, I have no clue!

You can get sticky tape removal solvent at a good office supply store.  Little bottle that takes the sticky stuff right off.

Then, I would use a blob of hot glue, which is not permanent to stick it back on.
