Getting sticky goop off of the leather

Recommended Posts

I am working on a design that required a little use of masking tape. I used Blue tape. It still left a slight residue. I want to go back in now and play some more with my dye colors but want to get the goop off first. The leather has one coat of dye but it will be getting darker but I am afraid the residue will act as a resist? I am afraid to use goo gone .. any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Try a loop of fresh tape and keep patting the surface to grab the residue.  Works for many types of adhesives, might work for you.

a gum rubber eraser might work like the ones they say will remove glue from the leather.  If you want a large one for low cost, you can find  one at harbor freight, the one that HF has is for cleaning and removing buildup on sanding belts and discs.

A crepe eraser works well.  They often come with liquid latex for just that purpose, and will work well with most adhesives that do not penetrate.
