Solvent for Scotch sticky tape glue
What's the best solvent for old Scotch translucent tape remains, clagged
on a SKY remote control? The plastic tape has gone but the glue is still there. Meths and lighter fluid not very effective. Cellulose thinner disolves the handset but leaves the goo intact. TIA john2 |

Sticky stuff tends to stick better to other sticky stuff better than what it's stuck to. |

TIA john2 Brass polish but you have to keep polishing,cleaning polishing, the end result is a new looking remote in one area. :-) -- Sir Benjamin Midllethwaite |

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 days. Kleeneze do it (at a price) or places such as CPC, etc. Really useful to have around. -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by Avenue Supplies, http://avenuesupplies.co.uk |
