Doing a small remodel at my house and they were installing some doors. The guy left the masking tape on while he was working on something else. After a few months the masking tape left tenacious deposits of goo. Yesterday, I saw one of the workers, literally working all day, carefully removing the gooey mess. I found this trick, using WD-40 on the internet. It worked like magic.

Hell Yes. I would take ALL day doing an easy paying job like removing tape. Glad you figured it out though. I don't think this guy was "riding the clock". He has been working at my house for almost a year on various aspects of my remodel. He doesn't appear to be slacker. |

I have to put eye drops in her eyes every day. |

How is it on preservation grease or cosmoline? I've got some NOS magazines I need to clean up. I used mineral spirits to clean up some surplus FAL mags I bought. I imagine it would be cheaper than WD40. And you can let the gunk settle out, siphon the spirits off and use it again. |

It also cures toenail fungus!  Seriously? When I was working on a shrimp boat, a bath in diesel fuel was used to get rid of a case of the crabs. Worked for me. Had a nail curled into a C. WD40 daily for a few days eased the pain and when it grew out, fungus gone!!! YMMV |

Yeah, I have 16 surplus FAL magazines still in the wrap and a few others that are quite tacky with cosmoline. I'll use the mineral spirits and save the WD40 for other uses. Thanks to all who replied. |

it's a great solvent. I buy the cans with the built in straw now cause I always lose the little red straw and can't find it when I need it Just put one drop of Super Glue on the straw at the nozzle and you will never lose another straw. Do it before you ever spray it. |
