Re: arsclist Sticky tape- the other kind



Hi,

I haven't tried this on audiotape or dictating discs, but have you thought of Citra-Solv. We've discovered at home that it cleans most kinds of gunk off lots of surfaces without damage. It might be worth a try on a junk disc or two.

Best, Richard

Can anyone suggest a solvent to remove the adhesive residue left by clear Scotch tape from the plastic used to make the floppy thin red Edison dictation diamond discs?

I'm concerned that acetone, which usually gets it off, may also destroy the disc surface itself.
