goo gone

[beaky]

does any one know where to get goo gone in australia?

I saw it once in a paint store, and it was super expensive.

Why don't you try Goof Off ?

i have been told that goo off will damage paint work.
i have read a restore webpage and the fellow uses it to remove milar. the site seem to be down at the moment but here is another link that refers to it

the person on the page this link refers to has done several mylar removals
anyway i bought some off ebay. 16 ounces for about $29 au including shipping 4 X 4 ounce bottles.
one link says the spray bottle but the other uses normal bottles.
i will be trying this on an old playfield first.

Goof Off will damage the playfield if it is not used properly. I use use as a "last resort" to remove the adhesive residue.

I use shellite (which our American friends call Naptha).

Use it in a well ventilated area. It is not as harmful as other chemicals, but it does give me a bit of a headache after an hour or so !

My goo gone arrived a couple of days ago, tried some on a white area of my jokerz p/f that is hidden and left it there for 15 min and no damage done to the paint work, didnt even soften the paint, rubbed it with a rag after the 15 min and no paint was on the rag.
i havent tried it on the adhesive yet but if it does what it says it does it will be great.

[beaky]

I tried it on mylar.
worked a treat, and it didn't leave much residue either 
i removed the remaining residue with more goo gone & a magic eraser.
i will post pics in my jokerz! restore.
oh yeah by the way no paint removal either even after 20 min of sitting in some places.

I agree Nino, It's strong stuff & evaporates quick so don't leave it sitting around with the lid off the bottle.
