Cleaning glue marks inside a housing

5 posts
  1. Since my leek detector died in heroics when buzzing around when the housing was leek, I removed it but some glues marks where stayed inside the housing, hot water and soap do nothing so I'm looking for a way to remove the glue without harm the Ikelite's housing.

    Any advice what to use?

  3. Thanks Mark,

    I looked for that item around where I live and found nothing.

    Is there a simple product that can be bought in and pharmacy or DIY shops that can do the work without harm the housing, since its small area I don't mind to work harder with less appropriates product.

    You can buy most 3M products from a good automotive supply store. They use this adhesive remover to take off residual glue from car graphics. I use it to take off silicone from my dome ports and acrylics without harming the surface.

  5. Just an update for the solution: I finished cleaning the glue by white gasoline that can be bought in any pharmacy, the 3M cleaner that Mark suggested was impossible to find it around here and a colleague suggest the gasoline, its works great, cleaning without any mark on the housing.
