I covered my canopy hoops with Duct Tape with the intent of protecting the soft interior of the canopy bubble from scratches.



During the course of all the fitting, sliding around, cursing, and generally getting the bubble to fit the hoops, a lot of the duct tape residue rubbed onto the interior of the canopy.



Anybody know what I can use to safely remove that gunk from the inside of my canopy...?



Thanks,



- Pat

Hi Pat,



Mineral Spirits should work - available at paint and hardware stores.



Try some on a hidden corner first . . .

70% isopropyl rubbing alchohol has worked for me, and it won't leave an oily residue like Im afraid rubbbing spirits might.  Again, try in  non visible corner first on your canopy!  Worked great for me, and remember only use plexus or similar cleaning agent as approved for that purpose.  DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS AND WINDEX!!!!!
