I used white spirit (it's a mixture of C6-C12 alkanes). I suspect goo gone would work too. The trick is to clean up afterwards with a polar solvent, like ethanol or acetone. This removes the residue left behind by the oily stuff, so the new adhesive has a nice, oil-free surface to stick to. -- Grunff
