    Need help removing thick adhesive

    Hey guys, not sure the best place to post this. At work we have to remove signs that have 3m double sided tape holding them onto the rack. I've used various chemicals to clean the residue/gunk off of the rack. They work, and it is a pain staking process. I would like to know if you can use a PC or rotary to remove the adhesive with some type of pad and compound? If would be nice to use a machine instead of elbow grease and a razor blade.

    I do not have a 3m pin stripe removal wheel, nor is one available for this project. Already wanted to try that.

    A machine might be more efficient, but I would try a heat gun/plastic razor before the use of your chemical.
