This has been an interesting discussion on how to remove "goop" from stuff.
I find that one or the other of the common methyl or ethyl alcohols is
sufficient in many cases to remove "goop" and has proven to be quite
safe on almost all surfaces.
When one of the common alcohols doesn't work I resort to a product
marketed by Circa 1850 under the name of Super DeGooper. The label says
it "Removes these Goops: Oil Crayon, Tar, Marker, Gum, Labels, Shoe
Polish, Adhesive, Duct Tape, Lipstick, Grease, stickers, Dried Latex
Paint" but in my experience is quite effect on much, much more and is
safe on most surfaces.
The caution label indicates that it contains xylene.
Works for me and when it doesn't I then resort to the much stronger
lacquer thinner or acetone. All are flammable and are used carefully
with adequate ventilation.
And when all else fails, good old scraping is used.

I don't know about what paint remover he meant but I have another
suggestion that might have worked. For cleaning label gunk off of used
test equipment I have used automotive bug and tar remover. Seems to
loosen up lots of gunk but not so strong it hurts the panel paint and
lettering.
