In my latest pattern routing project I used Shurtape double sided tape to hold the pattern and workpiece together. When I separated the parts there was quite a lot of adhesive residue. Most of it could be peeled off. Most of what remained after peeling was removed with a sharp chisel. However, there is still some visible film left that has to be removed before finishing. Any ideas on the best solvent to remove it? Any thoughts on the best mechanical means to get rid of it, sanding, scraping, etc?
Dittos! Last summer I had the task of removing vinyl from a kitchen full of cabinet door fronts. Went to my local Home Depot paint department and when I asked the guy what he would use, he smiled and said follow me. Took me to where they had Pure Citrus Orange air freshener and handed me a can. I brought a door sample with me, and we tried it right there... I was amazed... the stuff came right off. He told me that that was the stuff they used to remove old price stickers, double sided tape, etc in house. It works... fast!
You're right, the oils probably would go into the wood. Maybe if you use a heat gun to dry it out right away it won't have much of an effect.
Might have to experiment on some scrap first.
