Bob R email address
From: "BobR" Subject: removing old, dried, masking tape Date: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 7:39 PM I have tried both Acetone and MEK in the past and eventually was able to get the tape off but neither worked half as well as the Goo-B-Gone. Both can also be destructive to paint or certain other components. I was very surprised at how well the Goo-B-Gone was able to soften the adhesive without having to work at it. Doesn't smell as bad a Acetone or MEK either.

It takes a bit of elbow grease too. 100 MPH tape is worse than masking tape. MEK should take it off... but you might need an old toothbrush at some point too..

Bob R email address
Jim,
Done...Did you get a kickback on the email address or just no response? The address should be valid but I don't use it because of the huge amount of spam hitting it and I rarely empty the box.
