I worked in a commercial screen printing operation for about five years and I can contribute one small tip to this helpful video. When possible (when it doesn't interfere with anything) double up the end(s) of the tape strips just a tiny bit to create pull tabs. For example, on the two pieces over the reg marks marks in this video, if there's a tiny tab at the end of the tape you'll never have to dig for it with your fingernails on the mesh or emulsion to get it to start coming up. Just don't do it if the tab is going to be somewhere inside the image area because the extra thickness or the hanging tab could leave an impression in the prints. When I had to use less-than-ideal tape it was often an incredible help. It even works for the strips lining the inside of the frame if you are good at applying it carefully. Hope that helps someone with their tape removal woes!
