Best solvent to clean spray tac off an old press?

Ok...one more time:

Undiluted d-limonene. Removes everything but the powder coating. Smells like oranges. Non toxic. Super strong.

Texmar have a citrus based Orange cleaner that works well.

Do you know what its called? I ended up ordering a gallon of D-Limonene from the Real Milk Paint Company, and although it DOES NOT damage the paint--exactly as Evo promised--I am not too impressed with it's adhesive solvent qualities. That and its $80.00 and change for a gallon with shipping.

It is the best I've tried so far, I suppose, but you've still got to scrub.

A LOT.....

Let it sit for a bit. I've removed very old spray tack with it. Let it soak in for awhile and you shouldn't have to scrub much at all.

I'll try that.

I like the stuff a lot, I just haven't had an awful lot of success with my dirty old press yet. I used it for some sticker residue just this morning.

Leaving it soak should be easy, since it doesn't seem to flash off quickly.

Thanks for the advice!

820 From Easiway. We spray it on and leave it a bit and just wipe clean. It comes cleaner if you add a little heat to the mix. We have a waterbased tekmar gun. It gets that and ink off great.

Mentioned it before in this thread. Xenon XenPAC is awesome.  Just used it on 14 used Newman frames to remove old tape goop and ink, rub it on, let it soak for a few minutes,  buff it off and the frames are like new.

Works the same on water based tack, spray tack, and webtack.  And doesn't take the paint off the press.

that xenon stuff is a good price too.

That depends on the shipping price of the day...

i found that some of the gunk(not spray tak) comes off really well with Krud Kutter.

The Tekmar product is called TB Orange.
I clean the aluminum parts with this and the painted parts with a nasty oven cleaner that has caustic soda in it.
