Strip: straping tape

I finished taping the inside seam on my Gilly and having a real time of it trying to get rid of the strands and glue from the strapping tape. Has anyone found a solvent or better way to remove the gunk? I tried sanding but this just speads the mess but does make it so i can see how much is till left on the boat. Scrapper work pretty well but seams to take forever. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks Joe
