Re: Tape goo removal Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:02 pm Dingo Dingo   Joined: Oct 24, 2002 Posts: 3939 Location: Hartford, CT (with a bottle of guinness) Start with warm water and mild to light soap. It may take a while but thats probably the safest idea I know of. If not, maybe coke. If that doesn't work try rubbing a fresh slice of orange over it a few times. If all else fails you could check out a paint shop or art supply store and see what is a good degreaser thats not going to damage plastic. www.coastairbrush.com may have something along those lines. good luck! _________________ Trouble, adventure and loads of fun... -------------------------------------------------------- Down Cycles 2015 Albany Post Road Croton-On-Hudson, NY 10520 (914) 827-9570 Re: Tape goo removal Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:22 pm transitionfreeride Burner   Joined: Oct 06, 2006 Posts: 146 white lightning cleanstreak degreaser. its dope. http://www.whitelightningco.com/products/clean-streak.htm _________________ bring back the dirtbag forum Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:25 pm Timekiller Burner   Joined: Oct 23, 2006 Posts: 169 Location: North Jersey 1 goat testicle, the eye of a bat, 4 grams of basil, a smelly sneaker.
