removing old, dried, masking tape Michael Horowitz 01-02-2007
I've tried both Acetone and MEK in the past and eventually was able
to get the tape off but neither worked half as well as the Goo-B-Gone.
Both can also be destructive to paint or certain other components. I
was very surprised at how well the Goo-B-Gone was able to soften the
adhesive without having to work at it. Doesn't smell as bad a Acetone
or MEK either.
