When I was working in the graphic arts, we used Bestine to rejuvenate and
remove rubber cement. However, one thing our instructors cautioned us about
was that it was a known carcinogen; still, what isn't these days (at least
according to CA Prop 65)?
Best!

Hi All,
A better alternative to Goo Bone is "Bestine". It will remove virtually all
adhesives, is not petroleum based, leaves no residue as Goo Gone has a tendency
to.
This product is "flammable" however have never had problemwould keep open
flame away!!
If will also not have any effect on labels or printed material it comes in
contact with. This product is designed as a rubber cement thinner however has
been used in the graphics and art field for decades to remove sticky tape
residue.
Amazon link for product reference;
https://www.amazon.com/BESTINE-Solvent-Thinner-Rubber-Cement/dp/B004O7HM38
I was introduced to it many years ago working in an art department and
originally used it to clean stickers and labels from collectable record covers
and it had no effect on the artwork!!
You should be able to purchase at most art supply stores.
Best Regards,
Bob

Yes Michael - it does say Citrus solvent.
However, it Does contain Petroleum distillates and is flammable. Also, stinks
and is recommened to be used in a well ventilated area. It does work though.

If tapes, labels, “sticky” residues are a problem you must remove, go get GOO
GONE, citrus based.
