Foam removal results

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Thanks to all. The 3M adhesive remover worked well (the citrus scent was a
nice touch!). When an area soaked with that got a little sticky and balled
up the little bit of foam there, a little WD40 got us the rest of the way.

Also, a plastic paint scraper was the tool of choice. Keep some paper
toweling handy to wipe away any excess spray.

Thanks again!

I hear WD-40 works on a scratchy throat, too.

Citrasolv is a damn good gooey remover, too.

Wintergreen oil was the active ingredient, as well as smelling nice...
