Netters, I just found an Adhesive Remover Pen, made by Scotch. I bought it at Walgreens for about 3 bucks. I used it very successfully to remove the residue from some stickers on some wood furniture and a closet door.
The label says that it is pH neutral, citrus based, but may attack some plastics. It worked great on the wood...removed the goo, and left the wood looking great. I used it like a marker...."wrote" all over the residue, then just wiped it off with a paper towel. Sure beats other methods that I've tried! It may be worth a try if you have that nasty duct tape residue, or something similar. Of course, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
