Remove Duct Tape Residue From Wall Paneling

Wall paneling is usually wood finish.


Johnson & Johnson PRS-Permacel Division first made duct tape for the military during World War II, following development by 3-M. Duck tape was the original name because it used cotton duck fabric. After the war, this tape was used for duct work, and the color was changed from army green to silver to match the ducts. About eight companies manufacture duct tape in 2010, and the best-known brand is Duck, made by Shurtape Technologies of Hickory, North Carolina. The tape may come off and leave the adhesive or glue, particularly along the edges. You can remove the glue without damaging wall paneling. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Spray WD-40 or squirt some Goo Gone on a soft cloth.


2. Rub the paneling with the cloth in the area where the adhesive is stuck. Follow the vertical grain of the wood finish until the adhesive comes off. Repeat if necessary.


3. Clean the paneling lightly with furniture polish on another soft cloth to remove the WD-40 or Goo Gone residue.
