Just apply these things with your finger or paper towel and rub in a circular motion. If it works, the adhesive gets soft and turns into a gooey substance that can be wiped off with a clean paper towel. It may smear around, but you can add more solvent or just keep wiping until you pick it all up.Skillet wrote:Thanks all for the advice. I love peanut butter and definitely have that on hand. Can't hurt to try! I might even have a small jar of Vaseline. I guess put it on and let it set for a bit?
If I was still married I know I'd have some nail polish remover around!
Since your wife is no longer there, here is a tip.
If there is one cleaner/solvent you should invest for use around the house, it is goo-gone for removing price tag residue, tape residue, crayon marks, etc. You can buy it at the grocery store or drug store for a few bucks, it is citrus-based, so it smells good. It is handy to have around for cleaning up goo, and a little bottle lasts forever. We discovered it years ago. (however, peanut butter works almost as good, but it is messier.)http://www.amazon.com/Goo-Gone-oz-Remov ... B00006IBNJ
