Out stainless steel gas hob has been waiting to be installed for the last
12 months. It's day has come!

However, the kind man in the shop fixed the burner supports on with
Sellotape so they didn't move in transit (it was ex-display so no box).
Unfortunately we didn't remove the Sellotape until today and it's left
dried patches of adhesive on the stainless steel. I've got most of it off
with white spirit but there are still some marks.

Can anyone recommend something to finish the job? Or do I leave it to soak
in white spirit for a few hours?

TIA

Vaseline will work so, surprisingly, will talcum powder. You have to
sprinkle the powder and rub it with a finger, the adhesive will pill and
roll off.

I did it only today with a telephone with which my late mother had secured
the volume control - and I've done it on other materials in the past.

It also works with silicone sealant!
