Lightbulb Cleaning old adhesive residue from previous electronics

Hi,

Got a carbon fibre chassis for a mr4bx.

There is lots of adhesive residue that I'm having trouble getting off. Some of it has gone quite hard.

Any clean suggestions?

Regards

Naushad

Blast it with a hairdryer and then just scrape it off.

WD40 can work well but you will need to degrease prior to sticking anything back down

Isopropyl (or tape head cleaner)

As already mentioned, just soak the residue in lighter fluid for a few mins. It then just rubs off easily.

Then just mount electrics with the red roll of No More Nails. Sticks good and can easily be removed.
