I have never done this BUT. I had read a tip about glad press and seal. it had to do with painting. it said to used glad press and seal to protect nearby surfaces. So last week, I was painting a hutch, but didnt want the counter part to get paint on it, so I put on press ans seal, while I applied my 3 coats of paint. it rally worked good for keeping paint off my surface. THEN when I removed it there was a lot of residue on my counter. I tried wiping, then soap, then something stronger, then goo gone!!! the goo gone did work, but I have a new fear of press and seal residue!!!
