They say not to because when you take them off you may break the wires in them. It will lead to a short and could start a fire or just kill your breaker to your room. I would advise against it.

Hello,

I would also advise against it. It CAN be done like Lacey said, but you would be risking a possible fire.

I've reused as well. But as Lacey says it never sticks well again. It's more of a pain and as already stated more of a danger than it's worth.
