I've just unearthed some 20 year old audio CDs in boxed sets that use a
thin sheet of foam to separate them. Over the years the foam has
deterioated and unfortunately stuck gooey mess all over the label side
of the CD.

What can I use to get this foam off - that doesn't also remove the
printed label information? Isopropanol (IPA) wipes the info clean off! :-(

Cigarette lighter fluid is worth a try, as might be Turpentine - usual
caveats apply.
