Honestly , I just clip the 2-3” off the front and not worry about it. It’s a minuscule amount of plastic
If you’re trying to be ultra frugal, yes, you can probably clean it off with a solvent. IPA might work. Goo gone would but introduces all sorts of other contaminants.
I admit I tried using every gram. Still I found some of the tape residue on the inside of the spool. Thanks for the advice.

Gotcha, thanks.
