So what removes the harder-than-epoxy dried out
duct tape adhesive easily?
The only thing I know of is soaking in hot TCTFE which has been outlawed
since the patent expired.
I've tried TFE, methanol, ethanol, IPA, MEK, acetone, xylene, turpentine,
and various amide compounds which also remove acrylic and ABS (and skin)
very well.
But I want to just remove the adhesive, not everything else but.
I use petrol. Do it outside, and wear gloves.
You have to be careful, though. It mushy-fies some plastics.
