Try mineral spirits. I've had good luck with removing stuff with mineral spirits that I couldn't get off with other products. |

It breaks down gummy glue and can be washed off with soapy water. --- End quote --- I used WD40 on my defender plexiglass bezel which had the glue of some sort of wide tape. Until I used the WD40 progress was extremely slow and I kept wondering if I was even making progress. The WD40 sped it up tremendously. Followed up with some glass cleaner type stuff and it worked well. WD40 gets my vote. And if it isn't obvious already, it didn't damage the material in any way. |

javeryh, Anything with Xylene in it will do the job. You will notice that GooGone won't work but Goof-Off does a fantastic job. That's because the active ingredient in Goof-Off is Xylene. You can buy Xylene by itself at Hope Depot next to all of the other chemicals. If you can't find it, just buy the Goof-Off. |

How about contact cement solvent? It's made for the job :) Might want to test it on some scrap plexi first to doubler check that it won't damage it. |
