    You need d-limonene (orange peel extract) for adhesive removals. It works wonders by comparison to the things you tried, but even then I can still spend a good 10 mins on the same problem!

        It looks like Goo Gone has some in it, but it’s mostly petroleum based. D-limonene is a nifty (refined) by-product of citrus agriculture, it’s essentially just the oil from the peels. I use a product that’s basically half D-Limonene, half anionic and non-ionic surfactants (which is somewhat the equivalent of shampoo and sugar alcohol).

      I would have tried that if I had any. Somehow, I have laboratory grade chemicals in my room, but not a drop of orange oil in the entire house!

        I hear you. I definitely recommend picking up a tiny bottle of it, a little goes a long way! I’m still using the same 6oz bottle I bought maybe 7 years ago!
