: Hi Ken,

: I to have tape residue. I build up my deck in place on a stitch and glue
: hull. To keep glue joining the cedar strip deck to the ply wood hull I put
: packing tape all along the edge of the hull. Of course I had to put it
: down about 4 inches from the edge inside and out to make it easier to
: remove any glue drips.

: That was dumb. It would have been much easier to scrape of any glue drips.

: I Have LOTS of residue stuck on the hull now. I'm also very intersted in any
: posts on the subject of getting rid of it. For me I have the bond issue,
: as well, I need to prevent any smuges or fish eyes under the glass as it
: will be visible.

: have a good day all.

I've found that "Bestine" works great for removing adhesive residue. Its a mild solvent/adhesive thinner available at just about any art or crafts store. We use it at the photo studio for removing lables from products that we are shooting. And it works equally well removing tape and leftover adhesive.
