What is the best way to remove residue from a slab?

Didn't know about goof-off/goo-gone being totaally different. Thanks Jim.

Not sure acetone is a good choice. I'd go with peanut butter (not chunky), for that old ballpark aroma!

Time/distance/shielding. You know what im talking about! A small flame will cook your finger like a hotdog if its there long enough. But everyone here has done the "finger through the candle flame" trick. Go outside the house naked in 55 degree weather and you will die of hypothermia if your out long enough. But walk outside for 10 seconds in -20 F temps and nothing happens. Pour a cup of acetone onto a slab and come back in 2 hours and you are likely to have a big bummer. But swab it with a q-tip for 10 seconds and blow dry, and nothing happens.

Goo-gone is the safest and best I've found but you have to deal with that lemony smell for a while
