Donzo98 Posted July 6, 2018 Share #1 Â Posted July 6, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had a piece of gaffers tape over the top holes on my SL... Â When I took it off, there is a little residual tape reside in the holes. Â Anyone have a good tool for getting the residue out?? Â Thanks...

Jeff S Posted July 6, 2018 Share #3 Â Posted July 6, 2018 Not sure why you bothered with the weather sealed body, but I would make a quick call to DAG (Don Goldberg) and get his advice. Â Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted July 6, 2018 Share #4  Posted July 6, 2018 That’s a tough one. Toothbrush or fine artists brush may work although it may end up pushing it in. Have you tried a vacuum?  Out of curiosity, what brand of gaffer tape did you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted July 6, 2018 Share #7 Â Posted July 6, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) That is a bit harsh. Try interdental brushes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngjohn Posted July 6, 2018 Share #9  Posted July 6, 2018 Try a piece of masking tape rolled round your finger. ‘Dab’ at the holes and with a bit of luck it will grip the residue and pull it out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donzo98 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share #12 Â Posted July 6, 2018 That is a bit harsh. Try interdental brushes. Â Jaapv... PERFECT solution. Â I got the ultra-tight ones.... put in the hole, twisted... and the residue came out on the brush. Â GREAT IDEA... Now, no more tape on my SL Â Thanks!!
