Try using lighter fluid too. Pure naphtha. I discovered that it was
great for removing adhesives from my blades after cutting tape! Buying
it in the "dollar shops" is about 1/3 the cost of buying Ronson or
Zippo, and for use as a solvent it's just as good. I've even used it
to remove adhesive residue from paper because it eva****ates so quickly
it doesn't seem to harm the paper!
