There is an enviro safe product sold called DeSolVit. It is citrus base and I
have had extremely good luck with it. Spray, wait 20 seconds, wipe..adhesive
is gone!!

Deb,
Terrific! You've solved a longtime minor proble for me. Except that I have
no idea what a prewash treatment is. Is it that stuff that they sell in a
spray bottle at the supermarket?

Mark,
I have found that almost any adhesive that is used on stickers or tape, be
it packing tape, duct tape, or Chistmas wrap tape, can be removed by saturating
with any brand of prewash treatment and then wiping with a paper towel. I know
of a woman who removed 10 years worth of teenagers' sports and bumper sticker
adhesive from a luan door: no damage, no scraping. I use the same method to
get rid of the mess left by those pesky price labels: works everytime. My only
disclaimer is that I don't recommend it on wallboard...prewash treatments tend
to be oily.

No doubt
The issue with the tape is the adhesive bonds to the surface it is stuck
to and then with weather and time the bond between the backing on the tape and
the adhesive layer weakens. Once this happens, when you try to lift the tape
you are left with a nasty mess. Almost no solvent will lift it.
Read the fine print on the tape. If it says 7 days then don't leave it on
longer.

I wonder if a little wax on the fittings would make the tape easier to
remove.
