Residue removal - Gary G™ - 10-03-2015

What's best to remove contact paper glue residue?
Acetone, mineral spirits, or lacquer thinner?
Thanks.

If it's on a finished surface, avoid acetone or lacquer thinner that will damage most finishes. Raw wood = OK.

Mineral spirits, naphtha, or GooGone if a finished surface. Goof Off may work, but likewise can damage some finishes (so test first).

There's some very mild solvent based adhesive removers that won't hurt most finishes. Goof Off 2 Low Odor is a water based one that works amazingly well. It's in the orange spray bottle.

Thanks. We got it done with MS.
