keep putting it on and pulling it off, taking a little of the glue at a time. It doesn't work on everything, but it usually does. When too much glue is on the tape, you just grab another piece and continue.

And from what I have heard (although I have not used it myself), WD-40 sometimes needs to be left on for a while to soak in and react with the glue.

Must be the kind that is made from real citrus oil like this stuff:

Always works for me on even the most stubborn of sticky labels/glue. Smells nice too.

There's a product called Goo Gone(sp?) that is good at getting that residue off. Test it on a small area to be sure it doesn't damage the surface. Hardware stores carry it.

Vinegar or lemon juice should help with the after-odor.

Oil does it every time. Use Baby Oil, Mineral Oil, 3-In-One Motor Oil....it doesn't matter. I have found that ANY oil will rub out ANY "sticky stuff".

This is probably the greatest thing I ever learned. There isn't anything better at breaking up adhesive than just plain oil. Odd that it works as well as it does and everyone I've ever told this to is amazed that it actually works.

And thanks for the confirmation.

I've used it and it seems to work, although it takes a bit of scrubbing. Something in the peanut oils releases the stickiness.
