Mark- I found a good way to remove sticky adhesives. The CA (cyanoacrolyte) glue accelerator (aka "kicker") spray works great for removing tape adhesive. Much better than acetone or alcohol. Spray on and wipe off. You can find it in a small 3oz bottle at any hobby stores. It works so well I'm afraid to know what's in it.
