Re: [AH] Dymotape glue residue on painted metal work -> clean with Acetone?

I am super nervous about oil of any kind as I strongly suspect
that some combination of oil and other crap lead to the
destruction of my JP-4's sliders (now replaced). Naturally
I wouldn't be hosing things down with oil.

Eucalyptus oil was suggested. I will get some of that and keep it around.

The AH suggestion of Tea Tree Oil for the treatment of mildew and fungus
infested synths has been a godsend. My formally smelly Crumar (from an
Italian cellar) now smells like a synth should; slick and business.

And any modules in my modular rig had better match my Monde stuff
or get out of town! ;)
