What in the world is "White Spirit?"
Turpentine? White gas? 100% ethanol? Naphtha? Toluene? Methylcyclohexane? Acetone?

"White Spirit" is probably the trade name for what we cynically call any of the really hazardous solvents. You know, like "Methyl Deathyl Ethyl."
Favorite ingredient in Walter White's blue meth.

A slow rotating rubber disc in a drill works wonders. After that a quick wipe and you are ready to go.
Never need worry about losing the skin off your fingers either

I have "rubbed off" adhesive with a thumb before.
OK for a few feet, sucks for meters. A possible alternative? Do a search for "auto pinstripe removal", I have 2 rubber disc's used in an electric drill that work wonders. I will guess the colder the adhesive the better the results. I took off about 20' of 16yo pinstripe on a car in less than 30 minutes. No harm to auto paint, a quick machine compound made it invisible other than the difference in paint color due to UV masking. Saved some thumb skin. May try it at "Skunkworks" soon......
