Removing dried duct tape

[TJ1978]

ive been using wd40 on the truck and a plastic scraper, what else can be used safely to remove this adhesive residue?

 

[sweetk30]

brake cleaner . test first in a small area down low .

heat gun

another thought, not sure how it would work on that but we have used a rubber wheel to remove decals on service trucks that have been baked on.

3M makes an adhesive remover that I've had good luck with. Put some on a rag, hold it against the adhesive to re-moisturize(not sure if thats the right term), then clean off.

Just don't try the heat gun after the remover. Will cause the paint to get soft and warp. (Don't ask me how I know.)

Starting fluid works sometimes, it won’t take paint off like brake cleaner.

Wd40 works

Wd40 works

I’ve been using it with succes on most of it but it doesn’t work so well on the dried up stuff.

 

[onetonbb74]

I always try that first since its laying around

Carb cleaner works but can damage paint ,it may kill the gloss,or start lifting it off if its laquer or plain enamel..

Prep-Sol or enamel reducer may work too..

I had it on my boat, po used duct tape to hold for sale sign on, found a plastic scraper and goo be gone worked best, maybe a credit card

x2 on goo gone. Just spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes. It will soften up the old crusty adhesive and then it will just wipe off.

Goo gone did the trick...
