: Any recommendations for removal of duct tape adhesive? The last roll I used

: Thanks for your assistance.

Steve, for me the best has been mineral spirits, then lacquer thinner, then alcohol. But some of the adheasives have different sticky strength and maybe that could make a difference for the solvent that cuts them the best. I use duck tape from Menards that must have at least three times the holding power then the Walmart brand I have used.
