What's the best way...

[sugarsickness]

What's the best way to get rid of the gunk that tape (like electrical tape) leaves behind? I need to get all this sticky crap off my sabre, but washing it normally doesn't help. I'm thinking rubbing alcohol, but I bet I'm wrong. Any suggestions?

Well, there's some shit you can buy called "Goo Be Gone" or, what I do, is just rub it and it usually comes off. Just keeping rubbing it. =/

Something caustic like gasoline aught to do the trick. Coca Cola is also highly acidic.

I've used diesel to get tar off my hands before, so that might work. But it will smell really bad for a long while after. It worked for paint too, but I'm not sure what it will do for tape.

To get the tape price tags leave behind on DVDs and stuff (you know, after you try to rip the sticker off and fail horrible leaving most of it on), I heard the trick is to use heat and melt it off. A hairdryer works best. If your "sabre" is durable enough, you could try putting right up to an open flame (don't do this if you tried the gasoline thing first) or into boiling water.

If it's just a little sticky tape residue, than maybe try washing it normally again with hotter water, more soap, and a few other remedies.

Hm. I guess I can try a little bit of open flame here and there. If that fails, I'll probably just go down the list here, haha.

I used wd-40 to get the lame stickers off my guitar. Worked like a charm.

Just let the spot get soaked a bit with whatever solution you choose. A minute or so will do the trick.

Try gin. It just might do the trick. Cheap gin would be the best. I would hate to have to use real good gin. I t would be alcohol abuse!!!!!!!

[bigusdave]

If you want to get the diesel or any petroleum smell pf your hand use an instant hand sanitizer. Use a lot . After wash your hands with soap. That usually does the trick.

I's say just scrub. Either with a rag or just use your finger.
