Hi there

I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on how to safely remove
masking tape and packing tape from old lego boxes?  I seem able to remove the
tape without tearing but am left with a layer of extreamly sticky stuff - anyone
got any ideas on how to remove this?  i thought about meths but am a little

Many thanks

Anna

Freezing it may make it loose its stickiness, but you would have to
keep the cardboard dry to stop it getting soggy when its defrosted.
