I had a lot of tape residue awhile back and Joe Greeley (sp?) gave me the answer. Take paper towels or napkins and fold them into shapes that will cover the areas you want to work on. Take an eye dropper or small cup and soak them in mineral spirits, either in place or on your work table and then put them on the residue areas. Cover them with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. Let them sit for a minute or two and then remove and scrape off the residue. It takes multiple applications, but it eventually gets the job done.

: I used clear packing tape (perhaps not the best choice) between hull &
: deck, & of course it was in pretty poor shape by the time I separated
: the hull & deck, yesterday. There's tiny bits of tape still stuck, and
: patches of residue from the tape adhesive.

: All of this is on the sheer clamp, so I need to make sure its clean to get a
: good epoxy bond, when the time comes. What's the best way to (1) remove
: what I can see, and (2) make sure there's no invisible bits or residue
: remaining that will interfere with the epoxy.
