Expanding foam seems to stick to everything, it actually pulled the surface off of our driveway when I scraped it off.

Perhaps Aerohead addressed this directly elsewhere, in this post he talked about expanding foam and release agents for fiberglass resin, which should be applicable:

After the 'part' is completed,you slip it off the car,peel the foil away,then GUNK the area to remove the grease.
Have you read this thread? Jedi Sol said the foam sticks to foam, I would expect it to also adhere to duct tape.
