have you tried soaking it in hot water? Or if it's a small item, running hot water from the tap?

There's a product called acri-sol, or goo-gone.

I spray WD40 on and let it soak for a minute or two. Then gently rub off gum with paper towel/soft rag. Works on beer signs and oil cans.

Yikes, easy to damage the paint. I'd go with the hot water first. Second attack would be Goo gone or WD-40. Best to apply the solvent to a micro fiber towel and go slow.

I try to soften it up a bit with really hot water and then use Goo-gone too. Be patient!! It a while sometimes to rehydrate the masking tape adhesive.

Afraid to do much more than I have already, hot water and rubbing with sponge. Tape was put on a clock face to cover a brand name, I think the heat from the light bulb solidified the adhesive. Any solvents will remove the thin layer of paint I'm sure. Removed as much as I could, the haze remaining is lessened with cooking oil rubbed on it. I have learned my lesson with being too aggressive trying to clean items and end up ruining them....  |

not to hijack this thread, but does this process hold true for tape marks on painted metal? I have a Cav 72 with a small tape mark that looks like it has been there a long time.

I would try the most gentle process first. Hot water, then maybe some goo gone. That should work. |
