The best way that I have found is to save your covering trimmings and iron them over the left behind covering and then peel it off. Presto!

I find that a light touch with sand paper will remove those pesky little pieces that don't seem to wanna' come off. Start with fine grit. If it doesn't work with a light touch, go to a coarser grit. Heat helps the grit grab hold. (This is my primary method if it doesn't come off with the initial tear off and I can't lift it with the point of a hobby knife.)
