Hi All, A better alternative to Goo Bone is "Bestine". It will remove virtually all adhesives, is not petroleum based, leaves no residue as Goo Gone has a tendency to. This product is "flammable" however have never had problem....would keep open flame away!! If will also not have any effect on labels or printed material it comes in contact with. This product is designed as a rubber cement thinner however has been used in the graphics and art field for decades to remove sticky tape residue. Amazon link for product reference; https://www.amazon.com/BESTINE-Solvent-Thinner-Rubber-Cement/dp/B004O7HM38
I was introduced to it many years ago working in an art department and originally used it to clean stickers and labels from collectable record covers and it had no effect on the artwork!! You should be able to purchase at most art supply stores.

However, it Does contain Petroleum distillates and is flammable. Also, stinks and is recommened to be used in a well ventilated area. It does work though.
