In reply to Victor Penner:

3M makes a great adhesive remover that is gentle to paint. It is frequently available at paint stores serving professionals and at marine supply stores.

Subject: [CR]Removing ancient adhesive residue from painted surfaces??

I have a couple of 60+ year old frames that I am not going to re-paint but

that I want to preserve in all their faded glory. They both have residue

left from various bits of adhesive tape that when pulled off basically

turned to dust.

The residue is like crust, it is not coming up easily with polishing

compound and the areas are over top of box lining and decals in areas.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
