Remove Eternabond glue mess

adventurous2 · 02-09-2013, 09:45 AM

As part of trying to stop a roof leak my husband put Eternabond along the whole roof line of our Adventurer. He did not clean the part where the tape adheres to the gutter and now all that is coming lose and between the look of the lose glue and the dirt it looks awful. The tape also has bubbled up. We would like to strip the whole mess off.
What is the best way to get rid of the glue deposit? At some places the white plastic part comes off, leaving the glue deposit behind.

I know someone out here has a solution!

I would try a glue remover. I have had a lot of luck with a product called "Goo Gone". It works really well and is in most big box stores.

Thanks for the suggestions. The official website has some good suggestions for removing the glue. Now we just have to get up on the roof and start!!!

"Leave the residue in place. It will not hurt anything, and if you put new EternaBond® over the old, the new MicroSealant® will absorb the old MicroSealant®"

brilliant marketing!

WD-40 worked for me in small areas. Spray and let sit a few minutes.
