Title: How do you clean out....
Post by: tonguello on January 21, 2012, 21:15:48: .... the stickyness left by tape on playmobil?
I used water, then alcohol but it is not going away.
I have a carrying case that came with playmobil tape to close it and when I opened it the tape was very sticky. I still can't get rid of it.

any advice? :-[

Post by: bonniebeth on January 21, 2012, 21:27:28: Oh, I wish I knew a good way to do this. :-\ I have playmobil from when I was a kid that has sticky stuff on it from me "getting creative" and taping stuff together. I find sometimes after it really dries out you can just rub it off, but that doesn't always work. :-\

Post by: flatcat on January 21, 2012, 21:58:36: I use a sticky stuff remover, which comes in an aerosol can

(Which reminds me, I must spray a caravan roof that I've got out for Knaresbourough)

Care is needed though as it does remove some colour onto the cloth if rubbed too hard

The Clearasil wipes are what my teenagers use to clean their skin to stop them getting spots! I think they may contain surgical spirit. I should think there will be an equivalent in other countries.

Having said that, I got a 5302 house that someone had pulled the wallpaper off and stuck it on the floor and I tried just about everything I could think off and still have some sticky bits left :wall:

Post by: bonniebeth on January 22, 2012, 00:27:40: Cool, I'm going to have to try it! And if it doesn't work, I'll look for Bill's solution... my stuff has been stuck on for over 15 years, so it will be pretty tough.
