    I'd try butter or vaseline. Something oily. Having said that Lakeland sell a sticky stuff remover, called just that, if memory serves me right. Think it may be about £4 a bottle. Check their website.
    I got there - I'm debt free and intend to stay that way. If I haven't got the cash, it doesn't get bought. It's as simple as that.

    Spray WD-40 on it and let sit for a few minutes. It ought to come up then. If the stickiness is heavy after removing the tape, use more WD-40 to remove it.

    You can also use Stardrops neat to get the adhesive to release.

    Peanut butter, this also gets chewing gum out of hair. Hairspray should remove the sticky stuff but wipe over afterwards. Hope this helps.
