We used goo gone in a facility I once worked in where we had to remove stickers from plastic totes. Nothing got rid of the adhesives as quickly or easily. Theres like half a dozen different solvents in goo gone, I definoverprnot just brand name acetone.
Comment on Laptop is depolymerizing -- how can I remedy this?

But I’m probably wrong… if that were acetone it would not be “surface safe” and they’d get sued for damages. So indeed, probably worth a try.

It’s more of turpentine replacement than an acetone replacement.

It’s actually made from orange peels. Very different, non toxic, and it smells great.

Glad to hear that. So got me thinking about the wood glue dissolving on the bottle (polyvinylacetate). PVA is also used as a heel on some cheeses (gouda, I think). Maybe goo gone could be used to take the heel off cheese.
