    In Australia we use Eucalyptus Oil and it worls every time. It is sold all over the world, maybe somewhere near you.

    ALso - I wouldn't use it again, and wondered if the other seam guides were more reliable.

    Thanks, everyone, in advance.

    How about putting ice blocks on it until it is real cold them try with an egg slide or your husbands putty knife. It should come off (hopefully).

    Goo Gone Absolutely. I've used it for years. It even takes tar off floors and walls without damaging the finish. It is an oil and therefore less likely to damage plastic. Just put a drop or two on let it sit for a few minutes then wipe it off. It smells like oranges and works great.

    W-D 40 is great and not as expensive as the goop.

    That's not a stupid answer - peanut butter. It works for a lot of things, and would wash off with water. I was going to also suggest peanut butter.

    Moving. Do you regret getting rid of stuff? Or regret keeping stuff?
