Thanks Tom. I ran across this video while actually looking for info to remove some very old masking tape glue from the drawer fronts of two old wooden map cabinet sections that I salvaged from going to the landfill. I made it into a wheeled hobby table by adding a base and a butcher block countertop. I used blue painters tape when templating the underside of the countertop for the attachment screw holes. I had not heard of blue painters tape causing glue residue problems… Fortunately, my painters tape had only been on for about two days - and no one had been sitting on it. I just now went and removed that tape from the poly finish on the butcher block countertop and fortunately I did not need to use any solvent! For the very old masking tape labels, I’ll probably try using Hoppe’s #9 (a gun cleaning solvent) that I saw Ed’s Gunsmithing use in a video on removing old glue residue from a finished gunstock. I think the Hoppe’s will be a bit less aggressive than charcoal fluid - I’ve used it on my shotguns for many years, including getting some on the wooden stocks. It has always seemed to me that, in general, the lower the solvent flashpoint the more aggressive the solvent. Not true for all materials, (e.e. polor/non-polar solvent, etc.) but it has been a useful rule of thumb.

Tom, Thank you so much!!! I used regular masking tape to put butcher paper over all my newly sanded and refinished oak floors while I installed new cabinets and appliances. Much to my disappointment, the residue from the masking tape was all over my new floors. Nothing worked until I reviewed your video. Worked fantastic and quickly. Thanks again.

I’m 38 seconds into this and totally invested. I just used blue tape on some cutting in.
