What's the best solvent for old Scotch translucent tape remains, clagged

Meths and lighter fluid not very effective.
Cellulose thinner disolves the handset but leaves the goo intact.

I've found that 'sticky stuff remover' works well (no, I'm serious). It
used to be a solvent-type liquid, but it's usually an orangey oil these

useful to have around.
