Hello Listers:

  

 If a remedy is posted in the archives I apologize,  but I looked and couldn't find it.

  

 Any suggestions on how to safely clean the residue  off of 6061 aluminum that duct tape leaves, especially when it's been on for  several years?  Thanks!

I  have had good  luck using Goof-Off.  If the residue is particularly stubborn you can can  use a paper towl to keep the solvent in contact with the mark for 5-10 minutes.  It usually comes off very easily.

We used mayonnaise, covered with a damp cloth towel overnight. Two  applications required but no scratches or harm noted. Been on 2 plus years &  in sunlight (dumb idea that), Cleaned area with acetone. Details in  archives  (mine) Do Not Archive  KABONG

That sounds like a home remedy if I ever heard one LOL Where or how did you  ever think of that? I wipe down all my parts before I paint them with MEK and it  takes off everything and it don't attract bugs either if anything they will stay  well clear of MEK.

Idea came from an A&P, IA, FBO  owner that operated here at APV. The glue softened up and wiped off. Dusty had  only been in the airplane business for 40 years or some such number, had every  tool & method you can imagine. KABONG

I used to try to get "Goof-Off" to  clean airplane parts, but then he joined the Navy and I have to do all of it  myself now!  yuk, yuk.

  

 But, couldn't be prouder, he just made  E7!

 Does the Navy have a new rank - E7? or did your "Goof-off" make Chief. If he/she is now a Chief, you should be very proud. E7 is simply a pay grade for human resources purposes! Ha!

Thanks Steve,

     Yes, E7 is CPO, Chief Petty  Officer.  Out of Blues and into Khakis.  To me, he looks the same as  he did when he was 12, so when I picture him in khakis, a Chief, Leader of Men,  it gives me a tickle every time.  Can't say it enough, couldn't be  prouder!  Attached is a pic of Son Jeremy in Iceland a couple of years  ago.  Standing next to him is none other than our fellow Zenith  Lister/701 builder; Johann.

Randy,

 Yep, you should be proud. I know and knew lots of Chief Petty Officer's. Worked with them while teaching and/or being taught at Air Traffic Control Schools, worked on ships and many shore stations with them. Overall, they are a great group of men and do well as leaders, managers and administrators - to say nothing of their technical skills. Nice picture of Chief Jeremy Thwing. 

  

 Now talk him into Warrant Officer or Limited Duty Officer - that is the route I took in the Corps after making Gunnery Sergeant. Retired as an LDO Capt 23+ years ago with more than 22 years service -really enjoy the extra income, medical, etc. 

  

 I have a CH 600 with a tailwheel. Flying a Champ right now with an instructor (owner will not rent solo) to get re-comfortable with tailwheel before I fly the 600 for the first time - soon I hope!

its better than MEK, not cancerous and great to use afterward for sandwiches.

Laquer thinner dissolves everything expect glass  and stainmless steel.
