Pulled off the rest of the heater tape along with the aluminum tape left behind. The aluminum tape adhesive left behind a ton of junk on the walls of the chamber. This is probably due to excessive heating. In order to get the adhesive off I sprayed a vector alpha wipe with acetone and wiped down the walls. This took a lot of acetone to get it off.

When removing some of the aluminum tape I noticed small sections that seemed to have been melted to the silicone part of the heater tape and would have been damaging to try and forcefully remove it.

The heater tape is now ready to be put on again but now with the start of the tape placed on the other side so that the PID controllers can be placed on the shelf above the chamber and be seen outside of the curtain.
