Heat Gun on Low settings, do not place in one spot too long. It will soften up and peel. Use gloves it will be hot.

Then follow up with 3M adhesive remover.

Be careful with that thing. It'll set certain materials on fire (ask me how I know!). They are great but there's times a hair dryer with higher volume and lower heat is good too.

for the limited use i need a heatgun for i picked up one at harbor freight for a few bucks. it's worked great for the last couple of years.

Depending on the paint you can use an adhesive removing solvent. If it is a two part paint which is mostly used these days, you can remove old adhesive with methyl ethyl ketone, MEK. If you have a hand rubbed lacquer finish, stick with the heat gun and patience.

Mineral oil (butcher block) and coconut oil work surprisingly well on removing a variety of adhesives. Worth a try if you have some on hand.

Also... Olive oil is worth a try.

Another plus for the HF heat gun. Cheap, but they get the problem done. I did my entire vinyl wrap project with a HF heat guns :)

Good luck removing - those things are so tedious to remove.

Stain Removal | Adhesive Remover | Oven Cleaner

Yep! a big can of worms.
 
I've got quite a bit of time into this so far. Hair dryer on hot, and a plastic scraper. I though the adhesive would be quick to remove but that's no walk in the park either. Goo gone did nothing. 3M adhesive remover at least softens it up so it can be scraped, then rubbed off. It took me 3 hours to learn how to do the first 4 inches, 1 hour for another 4 inches, and 1.5 hours to get the remainder off. Adhesive part, I've got 2 hours in. Should be able to get the rest off in 1-1.5 hours. The other side should take considerably less time, the trial and error part are done.

Need to be patient with the adhesive remover solvent. Can't just dab it on with a paper towel and rub. Need to pour the solvent on the adhesive and let it sit for a while to allow the solvent to penetrate the sticky stuff before starting to scrape on it.

2nd. In fact, I'd recommend gently heating the adhesive first, then using the solvent.

I'm still recommending a Makita on low. A beyotches hair dryer will NOT do the job.

RSTarga 06-25-2015 04:00 PM

Only thing that worked for me was the heat gun at a low setting, followed by 3m adhesive remover and plastic scraping tools. 3hours a side at least.
