Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Simple enough. Need to clean up some gear, mounting plates, cases, etc. What's the favorite solvent these days for completely dissolving gaff tape adhesive? Acetone doesn't cut it.

Premium Members Robert Starling SOC Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi Peter! I've used Goo Off and some industrial grade orange spray solvent from ZEPP which can be found online or at a commercial hardware store. Wear gloves. MEJ says hi and send her love!

Premium Members Orlando Duguay Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 A heat gun and a paint scraper works pretty well on flight cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted July 8, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Good thoughts all, many thanks. Yeah, Orlando, that is THE tried and true method for cleaning up shipping cases. However, I use Pelican not Anvil type cases and when that day comes to strip, I'm thinking heat gun and hard plastic edged scraper, not a razor-based scraper to avoid slicing into the body of the case. Hi MEJ !! Will pick up Goo Off or Laquer Thinner today. I've got a plate or two with oogey tapey mess on them. I'm working on a template for very thin rubber or latex "clampdown" pad for the plates and they must be absolutely clean before I try affixing the rubber pads into place.

Premium Members Benjamin Treplin Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Peter, what works great is WD-40 or AFC 50 and the like. Basically any kind of oil works good on stickers or gaffer tape leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Osvaldo Silvera SOC Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Goof Off and Goo Gone work well, Sometimes Goof Off wont do the trick and then Goo Gone does it, and vice versa. Happy Summer cleaning! Ozzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Daniel Stilling DFF Posted July 14, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Trader joes has an orange spray that is sold as a deodorizer, but works like magic in cleaning goo off, and it makes your gear smell great too!
