cleaning masking tape glue off zodiac rib ?

[nousername]

I have recently done a lot of work to a zodiac pro 9. I am now at the stage where i have removed all the masking tape but have been left with a super sticky film all over the tubes.

What is the best thing to use to remove this glue ? Thanks

Make sure it is acetone (75p from a chemists) and not the environmentally kind nail varnish remover.

It won't damage your Hypalon......if your just using it for cleaning glue marks off etc then cheap nail varnish will do the trick. But if you're ever putting a patch on then I would use pure Acetone as nail varnish remover often has a perume and colourant added and this will leave a none bonding film behind. I cleaning an old Zodiac up with a green scrubby pad and nail varnish remover.
