I believe the instructions said to push down on the plastic LCD cover and pull on the frame in the section you are pressing down and work it off like that. Little heat from a blow dryer might help too...

Either way it is a pretty scary prospect and I would be reluctant to get a hot air gun anywhere near my camera as the prospect of damaging plastics, composites and other stuck on bits is very real.

How thick is the adhesive tape. Could you pull a fine guitar string through it to cut down the middle of the adhesive tape. You are then just left with getting the tape line off if it bothers you.
