Removing Sticker and Tape GooHere's a list of ways/stuff that will remove sticker and tape goo from various things. Some work better than others depending on the situation, and will ruin some surfaces. There's Some Meaning to the Order, But
Not Much
|
| WD-40 lighter fluid lacquer thinner your fingernail warm soapy water rubbing with your fingers denatured alcohol turpentine mineral oil furniture oil paint thinner acetone |
finger nail polish remover lift it off with (scotch?) tape a razor blade scraper heating with a hair dryer heating with a heat gun on low 3M adhesive remover Goo Gone Goof Off baby oil vegetable oil Crisco |
With some of these you can get more effect on stubborn stuff by letting it soak for a while after wetting it. Others must be wiped off fairly quickly to prevent marring the finish or evaporating.
If there's any doubt whether it will harm the surface, test on an inconspicuous area first.
If you plan to paint afterward don't choose an oily one like WD-40 or Crisco
