Gummy residue removal from windshield

[Doug94]

I've been working on the fiberglass fairing around my windshield and have gummy residue left from electrical tape in some areas. I dont want to use laquer thinner to remove it for fear of ruining the windshield. Any suggestions that you know of to safely remove the gummy stuff? Thanks

Hi Doug,

I used clear kerosene. usually sold at the box stores in the paint area in 1 gal cans. worked great.

If it is a small area, just use another piece of the same tape to lift it.

Yes, I heard Kerosene works good for this.

Tiki Torch fuel. I had spray lat on my canopy for 7 years. It spent hours with tiki torch fuel on it. Its very mild naptha. Don't even think about something hotter.
