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

[Leon]

Go into your garage and get some WD-40. Use it....It works extremely well. I have a can of it right next to me all of the time. It really makes the ole plastic look good and removes that sticker goo perfectly. Try it and then come back and let us know. I use it all of the time and it works great. The other stuff probably works too...but I already had WD-40.

My wife's finger nail polish remover, and a q-tip (which will probably be within 12 inches of where you find the remover) works very well.

I have a bottle of
ACRYLIC ANTISTATIC CLEANER
that is made for this and other cleaning Acrylic purposes.

Warning- Never use any products containing ammonia (such as window cleaners), alcohol, or solvent cleaners to clean acrylic.

citric acid may work well, and probably won't damage the plastic

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

I use both goo-gone and wd-40, both work well. Let it soak for a little then it should rub right off.

AVON Skin-So-Soft bath oil spray removes sticky residue. Another option to those mentioned earlier in this thread, and that I wasn't aware of.

Rubbing alcohol also works well. It is inexpensive and evaporates quickly with no residue or armoa. Can be found at any drug store....

I don't use any chemicals. I make a loop from a piece of Scotch tape (sticky side on the outside) then press it onto the glue residue left on the holder, then removing it quickly. After doing this a few times, the residue should be completely pulled off the holder.

Take these three items, some WD-40, a vice grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone.
