I have several areas that will require addition elbow grease (and perhaps some petroleum-based product) before the adhesive will quietly go into that goodnight darkness. There used to be a blue-and-gold can of Zippo lighter fluid that worked great but I am no longer able to find said cannisters. I've used Orange Oil (a cleaner made from orange rind) with mixed efforts; smells fine but not really a good replacement. I'm in an enclosed area with minimal ventilation so something mildon fragrance would be appreciated. What products are out there have people used sucessfully lately? Many thanks.
