What is the best sticky adhesive for a dashboard?
I have a little resin skull about 2 oz. and I bought double-sided stickies that didn't work at all on the dashboard and the velcroe stickies said 'not recommended for dashboards' so I didn't even try those. What is the best alternative other than glue?? Thanks for your answers!What is the best sticky adhesive for a dashboard?
Buy 3M double stick tape.
It WILL hold. I promise. Make sure its by 3M.What is the best sticky adhesive for a dashboard?
vel-cro will work fine but may leave some residue when removed. 3m double-faced tape (the good stuff that body shops use) will also work. stop by a local body shop and the ask the man real nicely for advice, and maybe he will help tou out. good luck
guby!!
use some double face tape.wavy hair

Help! I need a non-toxic way to remove linoleum tile adhesive from a ceramic tile floor?
The previous owners covered beautiful tile floor with the most hideous linoleum flooring. I am able to remove the floor, but the adhesive is where I am stuck...almost literally. I bought adhesive remover, but after reading all the warnings about poison and toxins, I don't want to use it in the house having children. Help!Help!

Soak in warm water and scrape. The good news is that the adhesive will not adhere well to the tile surface. All you need to do is wet it, let it sit, and scrape. Works well on concrete.
Any remaining residue can be scrubbed off with barkeepers friend and a white nylon scrub pad..Help! I need a non-toxic way to remove linoleum tile adhesive from a ceramic tile floor?
Orange (or any citrus based) oil and soy based removers work most times, but usually involve a bit more elbow grease. Its entirely possible, however, that you will need a chemical solvent and they are going to be noxious. If you do have to use a solvent just try to isolate the room and get as much ventillation as possible, drop a couple box fans and open a window or two and you will be fine. If you are super paranoid about the fumes while removing the glue you can always just buy a mask style respirator with cartridges for filtering out organic vapors.
If this was a peel and stick floor, try orange oil. It actually does work (called Goo Gone). If the adhesive is the black or white kind that is trowelled on...I'm sorry...
Just send the kids to the grandparents house for the weekend and do the job right! The only other option is to get on your hands and knees with a razor blade and try to scrape it, and use other solvents (which are also toxic) to try to dissolve the glue. What magic remedy are you looking for without using a remover product?
Getting that adhesive up is a tough job by itself. I've been successful with a lot of light scraping and mineral spirits and adhesive remover. I don't know if there is a non toxic way to do it.
if you have the can the adhesive came in call the manufactureer and ask them for an MSDS on the product that will give you the specs and proper solvent to deal with whaty ever chemical is in the product
material safety data sheet
I believe its a federal law the MSDS sheet must be provided for all products by any one who sells them

How do you remove the adhesive residue left behind from band aids?
I had surgery and the tape they used to close up the incision has left sticky gray stuff all over and I cant get rid of it. I have tried rubbing alcohol and that is not workingHow do you remove the adhesive residue left behind from band aids?
Try baby oil. Spread a bit over the glue residue, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and wash. You probably don't want to get it on the incision if it's not completely closed up, of course.How do you remove the adhesive residue left behind from band aids?
I would use windex... that's what we use to clean adhesive off of car windows, after we bring them back from the auction.. of course, we also use a razor blade and steel wool, but, I don't think that would be a good idea for your skin.
chuck is an idiot....
anywho... thanx for the question.. it helped for me too...
Yeah oil works to unbond the adhesive on a molecular level. Similar tricks work for when adhesive pricetags leave residue.
Oil still leaves a nasty greasy feeling. Try using alcohol, it does the same thing and will dry on its own. Plus it's a disinfectant so if you do get it in the cut it will be ok.
If you don't have any baby oil in the house, nail polish remover is also another excellent way to remove the adhesive residue. It is quick, clean and doesn't hurt.
This is an Interesting Question.I too wanted the answer for this!!
Sometimes it takes a while for it to completely come off, but it will. Just make sure when you are showering, that you scrub that area really well. As your dead skin cells wear away, so will the residue. After a few washes, you'll notice it less and less. I had that same problem just after being in the hospital giving birth and having things taped to me.
Try tea tree oil, I wore patches for pain management, similar to patches for cigarettes, they left residue all the time, the one thing I found that got rid of the gum residue completely was tea tree oil..
try using baby oil.
it works well on my grandkids

How do you remove linoleum adhesive from hardwood floors?
the hardwood floors were once stained and sealed a long time ago, but we don't want to ruin them removing the linoleum tilesHow do you remove linoleum adhesive from hardwood floors?
Removing the tiles in this case is not the issue, but removing the backing that will inevitably be left behind and the adhesive. ...and depending on how old the linoleum is...and if the glue is black will determine if it can be done at all. If the adhesive under your floor is black, it's what's known as ';cutback';....it contains petroleum and asbestos. It's best left where it is....a new subfloor installed to encapsulate the asbestos...and go forward with a new floor.
If not, this is still one job that is really best left to the pros. While it sounds easy to rent a sander, and use the various grits of sandpaper to get the residue off of the floor.....sanding a floor with a floor sander and getting a smooth finish on the wood, is indeed an art. It's all in keeping the sander at the same speed and pace, so you don't get any hills and valleys in your floor. HGTV makes it look so simple...only because they don't show the outtakes! There are many flooring projects than you can do yourself...this should not be one.
While we all want to save money where we can....we also need to know when to call the pros.How do you remove linoleum adhesive from hardwood floors?
scraping it off is probably the only way. you will have to finish it off with a good sander. don't use any liquid as it can ruin the wood. you should get a professional, it'll take a couple days probably, but be worth the cost. call a flooring company.
