How Do I Remove Aged/Dried Duct Tape?

[CADplans]

The PO of my tractor thought duct tape would be a good fuse panel cover,,, :confused2: NOT!!

Now, I need to try to figure out how to remove the tape.
The tape is pretty dried,,, GooGone did not touch it,,,

I have PB Blaster on it right now,,,
Any other ideas?

Acetone, razor blade, putty knife...

I just HATE when people use tape!

I might try varsol first before something aggressive like laquor thinner or acetone.

Or maybe a citrus based formula like goo gone. They are actually quite effective.

Yea, I did the GooGone,, 4 days worth,,
now 4 days of penetrating oil,,
I did "Google", no one seems to have a "magic bullet" for this stuff,,,

Stuff like acetone would probably destroy the decal?

Heat gun.

Did U try WD 40?

I'd try mineral spirits, and get a plastic scraper. It allowed me to get off some very stubborn sticker residue a few weeks ago. Not sure if it will work on your duct tape though.

Lighter fluid (no fire!) is a little better or stronger than GooGone and not as harsh as acetone. Most of the time you will need to get it wet and then scrape it into the glue etc so the fluid soaks in.
