Default toxic advice

from Ken's list of solutions: Depending on what it was removing old adhesives can be easy...or NOT! What ever you try, rub a tiny drop on a cloth somewhere on the plastic. If it turns green not good. If not, I doubt it's going to hurt.

Things to try (in increasing nastiness): canola or olive oil. alcohol, wd-40** or other light oil, mineral spirits, lighter fluid/naptha, goo-gone, kerosene, starter fluid**, carburetor cleaner**, gasoline, acetone.

Depending on what the adhesive was you might try heating lightly with a heat gun and scraping off.

Rub on more sticky tape and pull back off sometimes pulls old adhesive off with it.

** = gets used on a lot of sticky stuff around here.
