Re: [ARSCLIST] sticky goop on a CD container

[Thomas Stern <sternth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

if the adhesive is hardened and no longer sticky, doesn't hurt anything 
to leave it or use one of the
methods already suggested.
if the adhesive is sticky, use duct tape or other strong adhesive tape - 
press it onto the residue adhesive and pull tape off container, repeat
until all the adhesive comes off the case.
A suggestion for removing the strips:  remove them SLOWLY  (you can 
watch the adhesive struggle between adhering to the plastic case or
staying on the strip).
Best wishes, Thomas.
