Cleaning Your New Arcade
Scott84:
I peeled off a piece of laminate on the control panel (since it was ripped apart), now my panel smells like glue and is sticky which i expected so its ok
What house hold products can get this off to make it nice and smooth? I dont have Goo Gone, or Goo Off or anything like that. What kind of house hold product?
Mark70:
Go to your local hardware store and buy some Goo Gone or a similar citrus based solvent. It IS a household item.
Alternatively some mineral oils will work to take adhesives off, but you have to know what kind of adhesive it is to know what to use; otherwise you're just dumping oil on your cab. You can also use zippo lighter fliud to remove some adhesives.
Most of these products are flamable and most of them can make a real mess or stain or generally F things up is you use them in the wrong application. I won't be responsible for you lighting your home and yourself on fire.
Really, just go the hardware store and buy a citrus solvent.

Sorry Scott, I second the Goo Gone suggestion (Canadian Tire or similar place will have it). I also recommend using a razor scraper in conjunction with the Goo Gone.

Me too. I read this thread last night when it was posted and decided it was better to stay silent instead of saying something like "Hire a cleaning service to vacuum the floors, clean the bathrooms and wash the windows so potential customers will be able to see all the games in your arcade as they walk down the street."
