If you removed all of the stretch-release adhesive, good job! You can skip the next four steps. If not, then follow the next four steps to apply isopropyl alcohol.

Prop the left side of the iPad up against an object so the isopropyl alcohol can flow under the right battery cell.

Apply high-strength (>90%) isopropyl alcohol along the inside edge of the right battery cell.

Be careful if you're using a syringe with a needle or other sharp instrument to dispense isopropyl alcohol—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.

Let the alcohol soak for two minutes to soften the adhesive under the battery cell.
