how to get rid of sticky tape residue on my coins

Idiot dealer ruined my coins. Even after a month in acetone the residue is still there. Any ideas on how I can remove it?

The coins are ferratic stainless steel

WD-40. Then an acetone rinse.

 

A once frequent poster to this board, from Illinois, would recommend a rock tumbler.

 

I'm surprised a month in acetone didn't do the trick.

Sometimes I use tape (strapping) to remove tape residue from slabs. Might give that a try . Stick the tape to it and give it a good quick pull like when people get waxed.Repeat as necessary.

 

Whats wd-40

 

WD 40 is one of only two tools one could ever need. The other is duct tape.
If it moves but it shouldn't...duct tape.
If it should move but doesn't...WD 40.

WD 40 is also a solvent and displaces water. A wonder product. It comes in a spray can and is available for purchase almost everywhere.

 

Koinsolv.

 

You can spray on your bait and use it as a fish attractant also! So I have heard

 

WD-40 = Water Displacement 40 attempts to perfect the patented recipe..I thought Acetone was the only cleaner recommended by the community?

 

There are others, but I have never heard of anyone using WD40. I wouldn't use it on valuable coins without testing it out, and I would also want to know the chemical composition first.

 

The OPs coins are stainless steel. I don't think there'd be any problem with chemicals, except anything containing chlorine.

 

Unc Ferratic stainless steel and these are not easy to find

 

Spock, describe the glue~ color, thin or thick layer, can flake off or not, shiny or dull surface, etc.

I use in order: water, 90% isopropyl alcohol, acetone. Don't assume that acetone is the best. The only thing I have found to work on expoxies and other resins is sometimes MSDO. You should figure that there is a chance for damage.

It was a form of Cello tape scotch tape but clear. Left a whitish glue on the coin very sticky. Cannot flake off but if you rub the coin in water it comes off in black flakes

Coin surface is shiny glue is dull surface. What is msdo

 

I heard once that they never patented their recipe so that people couldn't mimic its affect. That said, I can't remember if the bottles list the ingredients or not.. Interesting fact anyway.

 

I would think that they must publish something for the MSDS.

 

Did you mean DMSO?

Spock, maybe this url would interest you. I don't know if this product is available to you, mainly EU it appears. Under 'Products' you can find CT1 Multisolve MSDS with list of ingredients.
