In Response To: Other: tape removal (marc)

: I put masking tape on my kayak to hold it together for transportation
: purposes when I moved. How do I remove the tape without leaving any
: residue on the epoxy?

I had a similar problem, also to remove adhesive from a label that was peeling from the deck. I tried a number of solvents, most just smeared the adhesive around.
Then I tried ski wax remover, about the only thing left, and after two wipes (really!) with the cloth and it was gone and the surface was still glossy (unlike the result of acetone or epoxy cleaner).
