Can anybody suggest a suitable solvent for removing the adhesive.
So far i`ve used Acetone and it`s only 50% successful.

I can second that! After the adhesive is dissolved, an oily residue is typically left, which I wash off with denatured alcohol.

And the citrus smell is nicer, too. Then I celebrate with a fully natured alcohol.

Hmmm, that's some serious tape. Might even work for taping the passenger outside as a Covid workaround.

3M makes a powerful adhesive remover, but the more useful the solvent, the more likely to eat the thing you use it on.
Definitely wax-be-gone and questionable for gelcoat friendly.

The GooGone MSDS says mostly Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated light with a nice citrus scent.


For removing duct tape adhesive, more duct tape seems to work well.
Don't know if more gaffer's tape works for Gaffers tape?
