Regarding Steve Smolian's question about removing Scotch tape and  Dave 
Nelson's reply:
 
  I've never tried WD-40, but Dave has had success with it. For  my part, I 
have always used rubber cement thinner. Dissolving such adhesives is  its 
one purpose. It helps to very lightly score the thing one wants to  remove 
(without cutting what's underneath of course) with a razor blade so  the 
thinner can get under the tape in the middle. It then dissolves the adhesive  and 
the pieces can just be lifted off. Some semi-dissolved goo might be left,  
but another application of thinner and a wipe removes it. Confession: I've  
never done this with Scotch tape, so this is only a suggestion. But I have 
done  it with hundreds of adhesive price stickers on LP covers and it's 
always worked  like a charm, with no effect on the ink.

WD 40.......    it disolves the adhesive but not the  printing  underneath   in most cases and is usually plastic safe.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] scotch adhsive tape

I've a bunch of LPs with a library acession number printed on an adhesive
label and affixed with scotch tape.  Some is magic mending, some celophane.
Has anyone a solution (mo pun) to reove scotch adhesive tape?
