Phill @ Elite Workwear UK Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi, I have used stuff similar to this in the past and it seemed to work fine. **LINK** I got the tip from a local signage company. You may be able to get a little drop from a local signage company if you ask or maybe a car paint shop or even motor factors company. Hope this helps.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Acetone? Pretty harmless but effective solvent. Alternatively IPA (Iso-Propyl-Alcohol) that removes residue from trim tape I know!

Danny Fenton Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have used some stuff called "sticky stuff remover" got it from Lakeland Stores. I would add the link but that feature still doesn't seem to work on my android tablet Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Danny's sticky stuff works, I'll vouch for it. I got some from a local hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan B Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 White spirit is good on sticky stuff and cheap enough. Always do a little test on a small area first when using solvents. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
