I use a very sharp razor blade - very carefully. Cut along the side of the wrap, a little at a time. Then peal it off. The nail on a finger usually takes the rest off. Also heat will soften the rest if need be Re: rod guide removal

I shave off a part of the wrap on top of a guide foot, so the razor blade cannot touch the blank. Then peel off the epoxy with a thumbnail. Try to get a hold of the thread once some of the epoxy is off; you should be able to pull it out from under the epoxy. Once there is a gap under the epoxy it can be thumbnailed-off easily. Removing the last bit of epoxy from the ends of the wrap can test your patience. Use a hair drier to warm and soften it, and then scrape with a fingernail or credit card. Epoxy binds really well to some (at least one type) of blank surface, better than the blank surface binds to the graphite - I hope you don't have that situation!
You are thinking correctly about giving this a try. I think all "newbies" should remove a guide they have put on, just to see how strong the wrap is. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
