Title: Need help cleaning paper/glue from Ms. PacMan marquee
Post by: Nailz on April 07, 2005, 08:02:57 pm

So I got a brand new Ms. PacMan marquee off of ebay a few years back, it was sent to me with a paper/sticky film

Try a product called

GOO GONE

That is what i would try next.

You can get it at WAL-MART

or simliar kind of store.

Yes, i second that.  Goo Gone works great.  I had a big sticker in the corner of my Ms. Pac marquee and goo gone took it right off.  It leaves kind of a greasy residue for a while, but it goes away after a while.

You can get it everywhere.  I've seen it at Kmart, Lowe's, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart.

Goo Gone, but let it soak a bit. If you use too little, and try to work the glue off too soon, it's still a pain.

Mineral spirits works well also.

There is also a COPY CAT

Product of GOO GONE called DE SOLV IT

and yes the more you use the better results you will get.

Ok, well goo gone it is... I am going to need a ton of it I think, as the ENTIRE marquee is covered.  Anyone have an idea of how much solution it would take to do that?  Can I dilute it in water and sit it back in the tub, or is that just going to make a big mess that I can't clean up?

Thanks again

No i would not dilute it !

I would just buy like a cheap plastic tub or something from dollar gereral.

Then pour the GOO GONE in the tub with the marquee.

GOO GONE leaves a greasy residue for a little while,  And it has the strong

scent of ORANGES.

pour some goo gone in a cookie sheet (with sides ;))and set the marquee face down for a while. Everybody has a cookie sheet!

I don't think I would let the goo gone touch the back side.  It may have an adverse reaction to the paint.
