I think it if called goo gone. It should take off the sticky residue

This is what i use and it takes almost all sticky stuff off.. Hubby uses it on his chain saw when in Florida we had rubber trees,the sap is super sticky and builds up on the saw, watched him,thought he was just lubercating and then he wiped saw off. He sprayed the chainsaw teeth and the blade they fit on. cleaned them right up. I use wd for all sticky residue from tape and even jars after I soak Jars in hot water to get paper off. Wonderful stuff. You don't have to spray directly on what it is you are trying to clean spray your finger or a paper towel

I have found Old English lemon oil furniture polish to take off nearly any sticky residue from any surface. Maybe you could try that.

Citrus based products work well on sticky stuff. Try something with orange oil in it or maybe even some plain lemon juice.

ALso - I wouldn't use it again, and wondered if the other seam guides were more reliable.

Thanks, everyone, in advance.

goo gone is a wonderful product. Just be sure to wash off really well. This product is oily.

spray wd 40 on a piece of cloth and rub it off

Goo GOne is a great product, also WD40 would work

Eucalyptus oil. Works a treat!

Sometimes rubbing with a papertowel with some vegetable oil on it will do the trick.

"Goo be gone" is nothing more than corn oil. Just use a little on a cloth it will come right off.
