bow slayer Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 need to remove some old adhesive from a vecro strip on aluminum door. Is there a product out there that will make this easier than scraping. Maybe something that will soften the glue and break it down some to make it easier to scrap off? please post if you know something that will work. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NANUK Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Another vote for GooGone, designed for the job and works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yes acetone works in some situations.. but when it comes to glue residue I find that the best thing is reducer 9 times out of 10. It's also fairly friendly to (well cured) painted surfaces. A couple wipes with reducer and it will be gone.... Acetone will take a bit more work if it's been there for any time period bowslayer.. but like others have said, easy to source (unless you have a body shop around the corner and show up with a little jar!) Goo Gone... If find is basically useless for anything that has any age to it. Lighter fluid.. is the best thing on vinyl and acrylic or polycarbinate sheet / windshields. Great for heel scuffs on that expensive kitchen floor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tknohpy Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 3M adhesive remover. You can pick it up at a car parts store. It is expensive but man does it work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince.bornais Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Ronson lighter fluid(yellow plastic bottle) works wonders. Removes car dealer stickers (or any sticker you need removed), tree sap, etc, etc,.... and is fairly inexpensive to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
