John:
If it is an adhesive tape residue or just an adhesive residue, the best,
paint safe, and non-toxic remover I am aware of is "Goo-Gone." It is
some kind
mild solvent with a lot of citrus oil in it. Sold at grocery stores. Since
you own a house, I would be surprised if your wife does not already
have a bottle. It is impossible to operate a house without it.
Works extremely well on adhesive tape residue, stick-on label residue,
and windshield sticker residue.
If that doesn't work then try iso-propyl alcohol, acetone, tri-chlor, etc.
Those are more toxic, will attack plastic and paint, etc.

I wasn't clear below -- the residue is on the Rb exterior surface that attached
to the heatsink.

Is there a recommended way to remove the residue of what I presume was thermal
tape on the heatsinks of my various telco Rb units? It's a slightly tacky
light greenish layer. I'm guessing that for a permanent installation one would
want to remove that residue, smooth the surface, and replace with new material
for best thermal transfer to the heatsink.
