xlr8tr,

An old method I have found works every time:

(Note: not my idea but rather was shown the method by Graham Coaker at a Antrie club event in 1969 or 70.)

1. Clean with Acetone using a paper towel.
2. Lightly sand area with 200 grit wet or dry.
3. Clean area again with MEK using a fresh paper towel.
4. Apply new weight. (Check date of manufacture as the acrylic tape has a shelf life of about 1 year. After that the adhesive is pretty much junk.)
5. If you are paranoid about losing the weight, cover with Tesa Mylar acrylic adhesive film. (I think 3M makes the same thing in the States.)
