austin532 | 467 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Anyone know the best way to remove old duct tape residue from plastic. In this case, NES sleeves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,092 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 This is the first time I've ever seen this question asked on the internet, which is funny for me personally, because I duct taped all my NES sleeves together when I was a kid to make the games all stack together nicely, and I still have that 10-sleeve wad of shit with my original games in them to this day!

Code Monkey | 2,014 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have a bag of hundreds of sleeves, I would just throw that one away. Lighter fluid should remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabonga | 2,344 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 10 hours ago, Code Monkey said: Lighter fluid should remove it. That is my go to for such things. I use charcoal lighter fluid simply because it is much much cheaper than cigarette lighter fluid. I always try a small spot to see if it works and let it sit for a day or so to make sure it isn't interacting in any weird ways*. It may take a bit of work since you sometimes get a gooey residue that requires a couple of applications to clean up totally. I use it to remove thrift store labels on all sorts of things - just have to be careful with non-glossy paper - it can soak into the paper if you aren't careful. *The only time I have had odd results is on some clear plastics - but only a few.
