    Have never tried a citrus based solvent, used Goof Off last year. Read that a heat gun/hair dryer can be effective, might try that next time.

    Nail varnish remover is supposed to help, but whatever I try it's always a complete PITA

    Goof Off works better than acetone.

    I got some strong acetone off a guy on Adverts earlier in the year.
    A bit of elbow grease and several layers of glue came o ff with ease!

    I used the hairdryer method, found it great, glue peeled off easily enough.
