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

Lighter fuel, WD 40 and baby oil should work on the marks.

I use lighter fuel, works a treat.


Lighter fuel or nail polish remover would be my first choices. Lighter fuel
works well with sticky labels on shiney cardboard where the removal of the
sticker may remove the shine.
