Hyper-d Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 What's the best way to remove glue residue from masking tape ect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I presume this is prior to painting? Got to be very careful what you use doesn't 'fog' the lexan. If you've a spare piece, try a few solvents on that and see the effect. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I've found humbrol model paint cleaner works well and doesn't damage lexan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johninderby Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sticky Stuff Remover from Asda, Morrisons etc. Citrous based and really works but won't harm anything. Can even be used on clothes or skin. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Quick,easy and free trick is to use WD40 or GT85 - Spray a little on,leave for about 5-10 seconds and wipe.Repeat if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnestah Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A smidge of white spirit on cloth should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-d Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks lads I'll give the wd-40 a go first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicko Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The WD40 should work a treat but be sure to wash the area thoroughly afterwards with warm soapy water, then rinse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPin Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Whenever I have bought dvds or books as gifts and they have price stickers on,no matter how hard you try, you always get the sticky **** left over......just a small squirt of deodorant does the trick. Any aerosol with a mild solvent will work. Spray - wait 5/10 minutes - wipe! KingPin Edited September 28, 2014 by KingPin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
