Hello:

In our kitchen, we have white laminate counter tops which we have covered
with transparent Contact paper. I put the paper almost an year ago using
just the adhesive on one side of the paper.

Yesterday as I was trying to remove the paper to replace it with new Contact
paper, I found that the paper came out leaving behind the gum (or whatever
sticky compound they use). It has been a nightmare to remove that. I
scrubbed for a long time and could clear only a small portion.

Is there a spray or any other product which would help to remove the
adhesive substance easily from the counter top?

Thanks.
