No do not remove it.

take the blue tape off if it goes from one side to the other. this just covers the cloth black tape during shipping. cloth tape keeps digi from shorting on frame. Make sure home button ribbon cables has its components(resister,diodes etc) covered by tape, too.

and what is the name of the black tar-like glue under the glass that comes already inside of the ipad?

is there something similar that i could buy at like a home depot?

Major problem guys.....I had two ipad minis to fix.
I replaced the glass on the 1st one before i posted on here, and of course before i learned from you not to take it off. So because I removed the kapton tape on the 1st one, the ipad is having home button and sound issues.
(of course the Ipad that i DIDNT remove the kapton tape works 100%-should have asked you guys first!)
Anyways:
I actually have a brand new -broken glass- digitizer with all the kapton tape still on it, like brand new.

Can i simply take the kapton tape off the broken-glass digitizer i have, and then put it on the digitizer of the screwed up one (the one with home button errors+sound issues-the one i removed the kapton tape from) so that it may work??? Help!!!

Yes try that, try to cover it with kapton tape exactly how it was done. Take picture before removing it if not sure how.

I am sure it is not the cause of sound problems.

OMG really? Is there a most common reason for losing sound to the speakers?
