| Removing old side art stickiness: sanding? |

Hopefully, if the goop is thick, coarser approaches would be used. One would not use Goo Gone on large thick slabs of adhesive, just as one would not paint a room with a toothbrush. (in short, I agree with you; goo gone doesn't go very far, but it does work; more appropriate methods are called for when large sections of goo need to be eliminated.) |

Thanks for all the suggestions. I notice everyone's suggesting Goo Gone versus Goof Off, so I'll give that one a try, but I'm guessing that the last couple replies are the problem -- too much gunk and I need to hair dryer/scrape off a layer before I go there. Very helpful all. Thanks. |

"Goo off" might just be a knock-off version of it. the key is to let the solvent work on the glue and start to break it down. |

As far as using a hair dryer, personally I don't think they get hot enough. A cheap heat gun (from harbor freight or similar) will do the trick easier I would think. A good enough scraper may work well enough regardless of heat though. |

The hair dryer I used got plenty hot to take the side art off, and chunks of goo were starting to come off with it. I think I need to get a better scraper, though. I had a small (about three inch) plastic cheapo thing. |
