Car Forum / GMC Cars / October 2007What removes duct tape adhesive?
Anyone know what the best thing is for removing the residual adhesive from Duct Tape? Preferably something which won't affect the color of the plastic dashboard on which it is stuck. Normally I'd expect laquer thinner or something to cut through it but I think it would make it look like hell afterwards.

TIA Some skin softeners work well, like Skin-so-soft, but you really have to rub it in. I've also heard some vegetable oils, or even peanut butter. Then there's commercial products, like Goo-Gone. Mineral spirits works fine mike >> Anyone know what the best thing is for removing the residual adhesive >> from Duct Tape?

Try the citrus based solvent, but test on an inconspicuous area first. I think the chemical name is D-Limanol but not sure. Next time try WD40. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.gm/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html I am not knocking ligher fluid. WD40 is a bit more common / convenient than lighter fluid and worth a try. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.gm/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html chemical name of "lighter fluid"................NAPTHA.......available at wal-mart in a gallon container........... > I am not knocking ligher fluid.
