Would warming the duct tape with a hairdryer  make removal easier Chas?

Traffic film remover might get the adhesive residue off, or quick dabs with parcel tape(both methods we use to remove such residue from fabrics).

you can buy proprietary 'gum' remover, works great on those sticky labels attached to equipment.

get from places such as Maplins and Staples, i use it to remove labels attached by clients to my door entry panels.

steamer - hmmm! i don't know why, but you had me getting flashbacks from my childhood and making fruit bowls out old 78 rpm records mdae hot by submerging them in hot water   ;D

a C5 with a lack of attention - would make a very big one

 ;D
