I too learned this lesson the hard way. But I did not think to wear gloves.

Well, today is the day... it's like 35 degrees out right now but it is supposed to warm up to around 55 so I'm going to try and remove the side art from my DK. I don't have a heat gun but I do have a hair dryer - well, my wife does >:D - so I guess I'm going o give that a try and clean up with Goo Gone or something is I have to. Then it is on to bondo, sand and paint! I'm hoping to get the thin primed today but I've got a lot of work to do!

first I used one of these:
Then for the rest I used paint thinner took 2 coats on each side
And once I could see the bare wood I then used my palm sander
Then used wood filler / Primer / Paint

I just finished. Took about 2 solid hours. I still have to remove the glue with goo gone but the hair dryer did the trick. I scraped with the end of a flat head screwdriver and when I got enough to grab onto I started peeling. What a pain!
I've never used Goo Gone before (I have to go buy some). Do you just let it sit and then everything rubs right off or does this take some elbow grease to do right?
EDIT: mrclean: my side art/cabinet side isn't quite in as bad shape as your started out (nice job). The DK cab appears laminated or something - it is very slick. It sucks I have to sand and paint over it.
