[BlindHandyMan] Tape residue on finished wood.

2009-08-22 Thread Max Robinson 
By way of background, I bought a friend a gift card to Lowe's.  I also 
bought a little wooden presentation box with the Lowe's logo on it. 
However, when I got it home I found it had been wrapped in clear tape which 
must have been packing tape.  When I removed the tape there was a sticky 
residue left behind.  What will clean it but not take off the finish?  I 
tried alcohol which softened it and seemed to take it off but it didn't 
remove it.  After it dried it was as sticky as ever.  I also tried Orange 
clean and Orange glow but they didn't work either.  Any suggestions?  Or 
should I just throw the thing away.

Regards.

I found that mineral spirits, paint thinner, usually works. If you are 
thinking of tossing it you can't hurt it.
Good Luck

So long as the alcohol didn't damage the finish you might try adding some 
talcum powder with the alcohol then wipe it off thoroughly. Much, hopefully all 
of the sticky will adhere to the talcum powder and be removed with the powder.

Another possible alternative is a solution of mild detergent to wipe off the 
alcohol while it is still wet with the alcohol. The damp detergent cloth may 
lift away the sticky which is suspended in the alcohol. What seems to be 
happening is that the alcohol will evaporate and leave the dissolved goo behind.

vaseline may let you wipe it right away. it breaks the bond by rehydrating 
the semi dried adhesive.

Well, that sort of worked.  It rendered it no longer sticky but there is 
still a visible residue on the surface.  That is progress.

If you have a can of good old Zippo lighter fluid, which is basically nothing 
more than naphtha, that will do a great job.  Neither one will harm the finish

Yes, as I mentioned before, lighter fluid is my alltime standby for

Never used it on anything that it discolored.
