>From memory it was pretty straightforward and didn't require too much effort to remove the old sticky coating, no real trick involved. All I can say is I definitely used Methylated Spirits (the purple stuff) and not Isopropyl Alcohol. I'm not sure if that's the key, I think methylated spirit is methanol based and IPA is ethanol based, but I may be wrong, I'm no chemist, or perhaps the formulation is stronger here in the UK? The purple dye, plus other additives are put in to deter people from drinking it, mmm, lovely.
