Someone used masking tape many years ago to cover some screwheads on

Any suggestions on how to remove this stuff? - Mike


I've used both Acetone and Mineral Spirits to remove the old, dried
adhesive. It takes a bit of elbow grease too. 100 MPH tape is worse
than masking tape.


MEK should take it off... but you might need an old toothbrush at some point too..
