Duct Tape Adhesive?

[Shane Deubell]

How would you remove duct tape adhesive?

Its a high rise so with portable or spotter machine, no heat.
Didn't see it yet but think its some CGD, probably higher end.

Apparently painters used it to put down plastic sheeting and now are having trouble removing it all.

Shane;

You can purchase "Adhesive Remover" ( I forgot the actual label) in a 32 oz can at Lowes. Located in the Paint Dept. Very inexpensive.

We used to use a lot of that back in the 70's/80's/90's. Works great.

Heat the tape(w/iron and towel), it will pull right off. Use a solvent for remaining glue... Easy(at times)!

I've used a gelled citrus spotter (Hel-Gel from Vacaway) with good results. Agitate and rinse, rinse, rinse.

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, Hel-Gel rocks.

Hard to beat hel gel

I would bring a couple of the above and see what works best Goof-off can work too, it gives me a screaming head ache so ventilaion is really important, but with all the above mentioned I would spray a general spotter like Perky first then use my solvent/spotter on a white towel. The water based spotter will give you some protection against over application of the "solvent" hence the chance of delamination.

Hard to beat hel gel

And easy to rinse.

Doesn't look too bad to me.

Home Depot sells a product right by the goof off goof off its in a blue shaker can can I don't know what the name of it is but I used it in a gym in a workout center to remove the duct tape that they could take the chords down

goo gone from autozone works better than goof off imo.

Thanks, Sam .

Actually, our new STAIN SOLV is our best performer for adhesive tape residue.

It will outperform any "Gel" product . . .

and is now in the UV screen-printed quart barrier bottle.

[SamIam]

So do you carry POG anymore Larry or is the new name Stain Solv????

Sam;

Dynachem POG is still our biggest seller for oil and grease removal. It is a combustible product for spraying large areas.

The Stain Solv is a specialty spotter for those difficult items like ink, furniture stains, and some dyes.

It is flammable, so it does need to be rinsed with hot water.

And charge accordingly. I regularly get duct tape that has been down for a year or more in college living situations. $10/foot

 

[Vivers]

Second vote for Prochem citrus gel

 

[dealtimeman]

What is your policy for 2-3 months when the residual adhesive start showing its new collection of soils?

Yes it is true, any adhsive left will attract a dirt line. Make sure you charge enough now or charge in three months ot follow up. Give some cards to the painting company.

 

[Goomer]

Run a dry cotton towel over the area when you "think" you removed it all.
You can often feel any residual adhesive grab the towel and help determine if it needs more work.
