Removing Glue
11 Answers
Please can you tell me how to remove the remains of glue from sticky back velcro? It is on a door that has a wood effect coating/laminate. I pulled one piece of velcro off and unfortunately it pulled a small bit of the coating off with it, but left some of the glue still attached to the door. Many thanks in advance.

I would expect isopropyl alcohol to work very well - depending on the type of adhesive (and given that it has dried up quite a lot with age) you may to work at it. But IA works on pretty much all adhesives used with stick-on stuff/items. It is a bit tricky to get hold of in shops but you can get it on eBay. It has a multitude of uses.
Sticky Stuff Remover, from the orange bucketeers (B&Q) - £4.27 for a 250ml bottle.
Put some on a clean cloth and rub it on the affected area. Leave it to work in for a couple of minutes and then re-run. Give it a couple of minutes more and it should scrape off if it doesn't rub off with the pass of the cloth.
