I found that mineral spirits, paint thinner, usually works. If you are thinking of tossing it you can't hurt it.

By way of background, I bought a friend a gift card to Lowe's. I also bought a little wooden presentation box with the Lowe's logo on it. However, when I got it home I found it had been wrapped in clear tape which must have been packing tape. When I removed the tape there was a sticky residue left behind. What will clean it but not take off the finish? I tried alcohol which softened it and seemed to take it off but it didn't remove it. After it dried it was as sticky as ever. I also tried Orange clean and Orange glow but they didn't work either. Any suggestions? Or should I just throw the thing away. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
