| JoeB:
I finally got around to laminating my mame machine yesterday... I baught black, matt, 8x4 sheets (2 of them) from home depot. The #$@@#$ sales person there used tape (after he rolled the sheets) to hold it together. Well, the tape he used was absolue crap. BEcause when I pulled the tape off, the plastic part came off, but the sticky stayed behind! I thought nothing of it, since I always use GooGone to remove sticky residue.. Well, the gooGone worked.. but now there's a "shadow" of where the tape was left behind! Really wierd.. like a 3" wide strip, about 2 feet long down the side! I tried everything to remove it.. soap & water, alcohol wipes, fantastic, more gooGone... The only thing that works is a white eraser, but it leaves its own uncleanable streaks behind.. HELP! How do you clean laminate residue that's on the surface/in the tiny cracks.. remember, matt surface.. black. Thanks. |

How about Ajax or Comet cleaner! Oh wait... maybe that's not such a good idea... j/k Ummm... I would have recommended alcohol. |

Honestly I hope you didn't damage the laminate. You can always cover it with some sideart. |

I'd suggest calling the shop. I think you're out of luck though I've seen those marks on laminate and I think they are permanent. The guy in the shop is an idiot. Compensation should be sought. |

just an idea...try hitting it with some "simple green"...let it soak for about 10-15 minutes before wiping it off. we used the stuff on countertops and floors in the navy to clean things up for inspections, and it worked great..couldn't hurt to try it. |
