Remove Duct tape from rubber hoses

[happy-diver]

no matter what chemical you use the only consequence for your rubber will be to be residue free

Everytime I look at my tank, which has some residue from last inspection label, I ask myself the same.
Well you see my solution is to ignore it, it got better with time.

I would not do much more than using dishwater liquid (the one for manual not for machines). Apply very thick, let stand for some hours and rinse a bit. Then use your fingers to rub it off, clean thoroughly. Be careful to not let any water in your 1st stage.. Maybe repeat and go diving. At least after that it should not be sticky.

Any solvent, acetone, wd-40, carbo cleaner, concentrated dish soap will get rid of it in seconds. Just rinse in water after it and there is no way that the rubber gets damaged.

Use brake cleaner spray. It is stated "rubber friendly".

My own experience with removing gummy residue from product labels’ with dish soap is that, while it prevents the residue spreading to new areas on the surface when trying to rub it off, it’s not particularly effective at removing it.

When compared to citrus oil and WD40 I would give dish soap a score of 2/10.

"rubber friendly"

If I put that in the context of my late teens and 20s ....

I throw my vote for WD40 too. It'll remove it pretty fast. Then just wash the hose in soap and water.

I've had the same issue, WD-40 works magnificently!
