I'm not sure I'd spray WD40 on a SGI Crimson.
You might remove more
than tape gum. On typical hard surfaces, things like GooGone work well
but this might not be good on your surface either.
Perhaps the plastics have changed over time - but I picked up a pile of
Indigo2 MaxImpacts that were covered in masking tape and packing tape
residue. The WD40 cleaned it up nicely, and three years later the I2
doesn't appear to have suffered adversely. No funny coloured spots, no
changing in the colour depth, the plastic isn't tacky anywhere on it.
Of course, as above, if the Crimsons are made of a different type of
plastic, my observations are moot.
