I tested a little mineral spirits on a rag and that was no good. I tested a heat gun trying to melt it and that didn't work either. Seems like a sander would just gum up the paper and have not tried that yet. Anyone have a "sure fire" way of removing the gummy adhesive? Thanks
Here is my post on the headliner replacement, it mentions the brushes scrapers and the acetone used. CLICK
