Hi Lenny, I once peeled some large labels off a vynle outside door I purchased for my home. They didn't come off very well and left some paper and glue on the door. Someone suggested that I put some WD40 on the glue and paper, let it sit a while and then try removing it again. It worked really well. I don't know how this would work in your situation but it might be worth a try.
Take care, Ed Przybylek -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 11:01 PM To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] removing glue A few weeks ago my son-in-law did some outside touch up painting for me. He could not find enough masking tape so he used duct tape on some white aluminum. This would have been ok if he would have immediately removed it. It started to rain so he left it on for about two weeks. Now when the tape was removed, it came off in thin strips leaving a lot of glue and some tape. I don't want to mess up the new aluminum trying to remove the glue. I tried some mild soap with no luck. Paint thinner did nothing to the glue. Any suggestions of a product that I can use to remove the tape residue and not mess up the aluminum? --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.LennyMcHugh.com ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: blindhandyman-ow...@yahoogroups.com To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_p age&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: blindhandyman-h...@yahoogroups.comyahoo!
