I've had success with GooGone and a plastic putty knife. Kerosene and the plastic putty knife works as well but the kerosene softens the plastic and the knife will have to be thrown away after a couple of uses.Does anything loosen this stuff. My fingernails are wore out!Later, De

Spray can of automotive Starting Fluid (ether). Leaves no residue so you can immediately stick a new weight down.

What would DoG do?
Orange-A-Tang
* 1 oz Vodka
* 1 oz 151-proof Rum
* 1/2 oz Triple Sec
* 1 splash Grenadine
* 6 oz Orange Juice
* 1 splash Sour Mix
* Ice
Lightly blend all ingredients except rum. Strain into large snifter 1/2 filled with ice cubes. Float rum on top. Top with tropical fruits.
Not sure how it'll work on sticky residue, but I'd bet you won't give a **** after two or three of 'em.

Soak it with Brake Clean, rub with a paper towel after a couple minutes. Brought to you by BrakeClean, the all purpose liquid nirvana.

Er, that method is great for removing the paint, too! Don't ask me why I know this... :glare:

Just used it to clean up my wheels for the same reason. Different brake cleaners use different chems. I suggest 3M 08880. Harmless to the wheel paint, in fact, it does a bang up job remove every last vestige of brake dust from the wheels, calipers etc.

Prepsol works wonders on any adhesives. And tar.
I just ran into the same issue last week.
What you need: 1) mineral spirits 2) cotton rag 3) a little elbow grease. The key is to continue to use a fresh part of the cotton rag or you will be putting on the old sticky goop instead of taking it off. approx. time of project, > 5minutes. Good luck.

Thanks Guys, especially to Toe for his inovative approach. Being the efficient (read lazy) guy that I am, I'm always for killing 2 birds w/one stone. Hmmm, wonder if U can substitute Diet Coce for the Vodka as I just turned 69 & am still too young for the hard stuff. Later,,, De
