How to remove sticky stuff in Beomaster 3500?

15 replies

Wasbenzine in Dutch and (I think) white spirit in English. Try to avoid spoiling on the grey conductive areas. I did many of these panels and it works like a treat! Just dip it in 2-3 times times using a brush and use a soft plastic piece to "scrape" it off gently! The glue becomes like a kind of gelly stuf!

Washbenzine is like Lighter Fluid, White spirit is more like Turpentine.

Gregg (member) has another one like "refined petrol"????

Don't use terpentine, to aggresive!

 

Lighter fluid worked perfectly scraping with soft plastic Thank you from 2018! Even though you wrote your post 6 years ago.

 

I did it on a Beocenter 9500. 

 

Now all those broken panel beocenters on ebay that sell for cheap will be real bargains and quick fixes for me. Thank you!

I have changed to just using warm water and my thumb, and just scrub it off when the old glue had been dissolved by the water.

No scratches at all.
