   Use a generous amount of acetone applied with a rag.  Be sure to use proper PPE.

   WD-40 works pretty well.

   Goo-Gone should work, too.

   Hi Turtle, Lighter fluid like the kind you would use in "zippo" lighters is the easist to find and doesn't leave a residue. We use it all the time.Larry Sivell

   Peanut butter actually works. Its the oil that softens the glue, plus the ground peanuts are a mild abrasive, and cleans everything up nicely. A little warm water and dish detergent cleans up all residue. It takes a little more time and elbow grease than WD40 or Zippo but for delicate surfaces it can't be beat.

   I hope I'm not stepping on your handle with my new name. I used to be Gordsco but somehow registered myself as under 13yrs old while entering profile information. After that I stopped receiving notifications and messages and was unable to re-enter an correct the problem. Changing my name seemed to be the easiest route. I called myself turtleneck because Piff, Boss, Turdferguson and Uncle Dunc were already taken.

   The name is cool, and thanks for the information to all on the subject. Where can I find the MSDS for napalm that you (MR T.) mentioned?

   Hey!

   I resemble that remark.

   I also screwed up and forgot my password.  Tis is Turd Ferguson, this is my real name.  My freshman college roommate "Americanized" my name of Thurdinski years ago.  People find it funny, I don't know why.  I guess I haven't grasped all of the nuances of the English language yet.

   I went to school with a fellow named Blojobowski, he didn't find much humor in it either.

   My apologies Turd.( your logo here) Turtleneck

   Aha! Let me guess...got your attention quick and everything else suddenly became secondary.

   One of the old issue FH's Great Moments in Building History. GC leaves newbie alone in well to do picky ladies home to drill a hole in interior wall for a cable and goes to lunch. Newbie keeps finding insulation on end of drill bit and wondering if it was once an exterior wall and the rest of house an addition. Then finds out he had drilled thru the wall and into her expensive couch on the other side.Half of good living is staying out of bad situations.

   The other...proper application of risk.

   Everything comes into sharp focus, fer sure!

   One thing I love about this job, if you don't mess something up too bad, you can usually find a way to fix it, before anyone finds out!

   (Except for holes drilled into an expensive couch in a picky ladies house...then you just gotta face the music) ROTFLMAO!
