Virtually all traction manufactures use 3M double sided fabric tape for eva and other traction used for surfboards. If the Cobra Factory is gluing down traction with an epoxy adhesive for Inland, that is not the norm, but honestly it makes sense given the size of their traction. The most efficient way to remove traction that has been glued down with a drying adhesive is to grind it off with a sander/grinder. It is dusty, and messy, but very efficient, and prevents the use of toxic solvents. 99% percent of the time, heat helps, however, heat can result in the adhesive tape letting loose of the eva, and then you are left with the double sided tape which basically has to be scraped or rubbed off with or without solvents.
Removing traction, even a simple tail pad is not the easiest job in the world.
