: : We just installed self-stick vinyl tiles. After completing the job, we noticed several tiles have a "glue" residue on them, around the seam area. (from handling or whatever) Is there a solution that can be used to remove this, but NOT dull the shine? It is movable when attacked with the fingernail. Thanks!
: yes you can use regular old lighter or chacoal lighter fluid
BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE TO ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMPEN A CLOTH WITH THE LIGHTER FLUID ... ANY EXCESSIVE DRIPPAGE OF LIGHTER FLUID OR ANY SOLVENT WILL EAT AWAY AND DELAMINATE THE TILES FROM THEIR BONDED SUBSTRATE.
