British Quad which has been folded just the right amount of times and shoved under one of the corners to stop the place from wobbling.

I had a snipe that Bestine wouldn't remove. Not even a little. After the initial soak, a steady hand, patience and palette knife removed the snipe smoothly. I do this for all tape now if I'm backing the poster. But yeah, you're right, you need to be very careful. I'd never try it without a palette knife because I'm sure I'd rip the paper. The knife is the key. If you run it slowly and carefully under the tape on a very wet poster, it slowly comes off cleanly. At least that's what's worked for me. I'll try to take pictures next time I get some tape on a poster when I get around to backing.
That takes guts...my poster was so fragile yesterday I had a whole section separate...it was a yikes moment! Fortunately it went back together...I couldn't imagine attempting to take off tape when it's wet, but when I took it off with the Bestine, a by-product was that bits of paper did peel/tear off and were lost.
Maybe this won't/doesn't happen when it's wet. When is the tape wet enough on the paper? It takes me about 2 hrs 20 mins for my wet work. By the end the paper is really soft and ready to come apart easily...only done two backings, but that's my experience.
