I always keep Pure Orange Citrus freshener. It is an actual air freshener but it takes all sticky stuff off.

I use WD-40 to remove anything adhesive. Years ago when stores used price tags stuck to products, and there was a price change, we used WD-40 to remove the old sticky tags. I have used it ever since. I have used it on Formica, varnished wood, plastic and metals and never had a problem. Its my favorite "go to" product.

Never had any problem with 505. Washes off tops . I do put cardboard around blocks I spray to catch out spray.

I have been using basting spray exclusively for about 5 years and yes, there is always over spray. I noticed it on my floor. I used warm soapy water and a soft cloth and it came up easily. When I have old newspaper available, I just spread it around my work area.

I attached a king size flannel sheet to my quilting frame to make a design wall. My squares would not stick to the flannel, so I sprayed it with Sullivan's Quilt Basting Spray. (That's all the quilt shop had.) The can says:
"temporarily bonds" and
"non-permanent bond which is repositionable if required."
"If it is necessary to rejuvenate, simply 'steam' lightly with an iron. QBS will remain adhered to the fabric for several weeks. After this time, or upon washing, the adhesive properties will diminished or be completely removed."
"Any overspray can be removed with a number of popular non-staining organic cleaners."

I had to rejuvenate several times during the process of putting the quilt together, but it really worked well. I really needed to see the quilt on the wall for a while and change it a lot until I found a set-up I liked.

Then I washed the flannel sheet. The stickiness seemed to be gone, but all those threads sticking to it are still there. (Looks real cute.) I had washed in warm water. When I wash it again, I'll use hot water.

I bought a can of basting spray, used it once, hated the fumes, discovered basting with Elmer's and never looked back.
