Debadging process question

I got the badges off. Heated them up with a hair dryer and sawed with the dental floss. Came off easy. The only problem is that they left a pretty big excess of the double-stick tape behind. I rubbed in GOO-GONE but it's not coming off as easy as the bottle would have you believe.

Any suggestions?

Re: Debadging process question

Let the goo-gone sit for at least a minute on the glue, then wipe. Try dabbing it on with a cloth to be sure you get enough on the old glue. It should come off with a little elbow grease after it sits for a bit. Good luck.
