Paintball goo yields to boiling water from a kettle.


That's because most of the paintball goo is fish oil, glycerine, and
wax, all of which will melt nicely at fairly low temperatures. The
stuff I'm dealing with is probably a permanent pressure sensitive
adhesive, possibly self vulcanizing rubber plus an accelerator, which
is why it seems to be insoluble. Breaking cross link vulcanization
bonds is not easy. It's much like trying to remove RTV with solvents,
which won't work.
