BetaLink remover solution?

I am attempting to remove my ZCP CF front splitters from my bumper but they were dealer installed with BetaLink when the car was bought new. Is there a way to remove the BetaLink without damaging the splitters? I cant find a removing solution online, thanks.

There's a few threads around the forum that says using a nylon/fishing string, heat gun, and betalink is remover works well, it just takes patience.

Personally, I used a very thin guitar string to start a gap on the corners. Once there's enough space, I sprayed some WD-40/goo gone and heat gun. I then used multiple plastic trim tools and a rubber mallet to jam them in slowly to separate the betalink adhesive from the spoiler. It leaves a thick rubber-like residue on your paint/spoiler which can be removed, it just takes time. I did my rear csl spoiler in about 3-4 hours.

Heat gun, Dental Floss, 3M adhesive remover, and patience.

I'm sure the beta link remover won't work if it's already been bonded for awhile. Plus I can't see how you'd get it under the carbon without cracking the lip.
