Well,
Jet-A works like diesel and doesn't smell as bad.
Cheers!

WD40 works well on tape residue too.

But you know what REALLY cleaned up stuff MUCH nicer, quicker, and easier
than
gasoline? Not to mention being much safer and easier to work with?

Diesel fuel (and I suspect kerosene would be similiar).

Off hand you might think gas would be a much better solvent for getting
grung
off...but the diesel was MUCH better and faster....at least on the stuff
on and
in car engines...

So, maybe try diesel, and then use something like alchohol to remove the
last
traces of diesel residue?

take care
