best way to get masking tape gum off linoleum?

[Andy Perreault]

Anybody know of a way to get dried masking tape gum off a linoleum floor without ruining the linoleum? I don't want to try any strong solvents like acetone or lacquer thinner. Any ideas?

Thanks, Andy

WD-40

Any of the citrus cleaners should work too. Test in an hidden area first.

I would use denatured alchol or you could try simple green

I have good luck with waterless hand cleaner.

Also, an oddball cleaner which works great and

nobody knows about is vegetable oil! Yup. It

will dissolve a lot of stubborn greases and then

will wash off with mild soap.

Lighter fluid

Good ole lighter fluid works great and dries fast.

No home should be without this stuff. It takes off everything except what you want left. Amazing stuff!

I'm with the Goof-Off crowd. Use it for lots of removals. Try it on a small, out-of-the-way place to test for any problems.

Hey Andy, you are still alive! I posted a "Andy Perrault MIA" thread on NW Bombers a few weeks ago . How are things going??



I have found some kinds of silicone spray works pretty good for what you need to do.

I know it's already been said, but water displacement # 40 does more than advertised.
