Stratovarius Turbocharged January 13, 2020 Share January 13, 2020 2 hours ago, Lala81 said: Have some old (5 years old) sticky residue from double sided tape on my front door (zzz leftover from 5 years ago when i used double sided tape for CNY decorations). I tried to remove it back then but then procrastinated cos i was busy then. Then haha now it's 5 years on. Scrapping it doesn't work cos it's just a very thin residue that u can see and hardly feel. It's the usual laminated type of door. Anyway to remove it without damaging the laminate? Other than Rubbing alcohol, any other suggestions? Wd40? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic January 13, 2020 Share January 13, 2020 (edited) 3M sticker remover works well. Spray it on, leave it to soak for a bit, top up the spray after 10min to let it soak all the way thru. Test it on an unseen varnished area of the door first.
