In the dark of the winter, when book sales are few and far between, I turn my
attention to repair of books bought during the year.
A few months ago, someone in this group suggested that the best way to remove
sticky tape from paper boards was to use Ronsonol lighter fluid. Well, I always
keep some around for some arcane photographic process, so I decided to try it
out. And, lo and behold, it works! I tested it first on an obscure area of the
paper board and it dried stain free. So then I treated the tape area, and tape
that ordinarily wanted desperately to tear paper away from the book, came along
quietly, as policemen like to say.

Glad to have helped! It's the best stuff, ever. And never stains

I use it to make "Flaming Moes" (or "Flaming Homers" if you prefer). >> Stay informed about: The Ronsonol Cure |

$6.99 for 4 ozs. In a plastic flip top bottle with a built on plastic
lifter.
The bottle says it contains petroleum distillates. Flammable, do not
swallow or inhale.
I have never used it before. When I checked my bag of purchases---alas--I
only bought one bottle! I had intended to buy both the bottles they had
left, as I hear it's not being made anymore.
Regards,
Donna >> Stay informed about: The Ronsonol Cure |

Go to the grocery store, find Ronsonol (it may be in the
cigarette area), and check the price.
The last one I bought, was about $2.79 for a 12-ounce bottle
at Wal-Mart.
UnDu would cost you $20.97 for that much!
I'm curious. Why do people think GooGone or UnDu is better? >> Stay informed about: The Ronsonol Cure |
