    Default How to remove duct tape from wood

    I just picked up a desk style cabinet last night and the top and side drawers have sticky old duct tape on them. The silver peels off leaving the goo and webbing. What can I use to safely get the tape residue off. The cabinet isn't perfect but not in bad shape so I am hoping it will clean up and be useable right out of the gate.

    I would agree, but you can get it at most local drug stores/supermarkets

    Steve I had some in the cupboard, but was undecided. I am thinking then clean with Glenn's cleaning recipe and Feed N' Wax. I respect your work on tables though. What do you think?

    I have not tried Glenn mix on glue residue. Try it, but GooGone is great. And definately use Glenns mix after

    Yay! The Goo Gone got the tape residue off nicely. Now for the cleaning..I think I need to go buy the ammonia. I don't have that. It's a two part cleaning process if I remember right?

    Yep. The Goo Gone did it. After that I used Glenn's cleaning recipe and gave the desk a good wax. It still has character but it's clean and smooth now.
