I checked the archives and was able to easily remove the wing walk...from the glue still stuck to the paint....
Is there an easy way to remove the glue?
I have tried Avgas, bug and tar remover, MEK, and paint thinner. None really break down the glue....the Avgas does a real good job of final cleaning of the areas that I have been able to remove the glue manually - by rubbing it in to boogers with my hands and manually picking the boogers off!
Any other ideas would be appreciated.....

Replacing the UHMW tape on the flaps I found a SMALL about of heat from a
hot air gun loosens up the glue well enough to come off the tape. Too much
heat and you soften the paint. For the last bit of residue I used Coleman
Fuel as the cleaner.
You might try Goo Gone for what you have.

Thanks to all who provided suggestions.
I was able to remove the adhesive with Avgas after letting it soak for a couple of minutes and rubbing it off with a paper towel. I tried the Avgas one more time before going out to buy something else as it was available here at the hangar.
Now I need to clean it well before putting on the new one!

This works really well. The friction heats the UHMW and glue and then shears it right off.

Probably takes 1/2 hour per flap. I tried scraping, solvent, and everything else, but this was the solution. Your local auto body shop probably has ‘em too.

3M and others make an adhesive removing solvent which is safe for most
paints and plastics. It's mostly Naphtha and Linoleic acid (the chemical
extracted from citrus). You can purchase spray cans of it and it works
great. It also is good a dissolving old lubricant from mechanisms. I rinse
afterwards with alcohol to remove any residue that is left.
You may have luck finding spray cans of it at an auto paint store. I
believe Granger carries it. I purchase it by the gallon from Ace Hardware.
My branch has to order it, but it shipping is free. That's significant
since a gallon of it in a heavy can would be expensive to ship.
One of the nice features of this product is that it has almost no health
risks associated with its use...
