Default Debadging process question

I got the badges off. Heated them up with a hair dryer and sawed with the dental floss. Came off easy. The only problem is that they left a pretty big excess of the double-stick tape behind. I rubbed in GOO-GONE but it's not coming off as easy as the bottle would have you believe.

Any suggestions?

Let the goo-gone sit for at least a minute on the glue, then wipe. Try dabbing it on with a cloth to be sure you get enough on the old glue. It should come off with a little elbow grease after it sits for a bit. Good luck.

it's pretty thick - like a layer of cardboard. I'll try, though, thanks =)

Default just keep at it....

some people have it easier than others.... mine was pretty difficult too, keep it warm with the hair drier, it'll help out. that and elbow grease will get it off eventually
