Paxton,
It's a citrus based solvent and I bought mine at Home Depot. It's
probably the same stuff that Sam and others call Goof Off or a Touch of
Citrus. It works a lot faster it you heat the surface first and/or cover
the spot with tin foil after you apply the solvent. The foil keeps it from
evaporating too fast.

Touch of Oranges comes in a big bottle and is not caustic. I don't
remember if Goof Off burns nose hairs, but I wasn't too impressed with it.
I probably wasn't using it right. But Touch of Oranges won't harm
anything. I leave it sitting on the worst goo for several minutes. It
is completely harmless and smells nice too. Its great for washing
petroleum based gunk off your hands too.

Googone can be bad on some plastics or finishes. It has some xylol based
chemicals and can damage a few things and dries rubber platens. Walmart,
hardware stores, etc have it but be really careful with it if you decide
to use it in leiu of common solvents like denatured alcohol.

Good advice. I've never had a problem with Goo-Gone but I always try
denatured alcohol first. ANY kind of solvent is rough on rubber. Try soap
and water with lots of elbow grease first.

I was thinking of something other than Goo-gone I think. Someone said Goo-Gone
is citrus based, although the oils from orange and lemon peels are flammable
solvents too, but what I was thinking of is named something else that I can't
think of. In other words, just be careful before you commit and turn to sh**.
