Removing sticky residue from tank?

[Doostur]

I have old vortech wire tie squares which have left behind sticky residue. Its been there for a little while and now pretty hard. I tried a razor blade with no luck. Last time I used nail polish remover (on another tank) it turned by glass cloudy. This is sapphire glass. Suggestions?

I’ve had really good luck with soaking the spot in dawn for a few minutes and then rubbing with the green side of a regular sponge

Peanut butter or vegetable oil?

What about a little goo gone onto a rag to soften it up then use the razor blade to take it off. Then clean up with RO water.

Was gonna try some vege oil next.

Vegetable oil got gum out of my hair many times when I was a kid

I dabbed some vege oil on it... let it sit for 5 min, then came right off with a razor blade. Crazy vege oil does that. I'm curious on why lol. I wanted to ask on here first before I screwed up my tank and ruined my weekend lololol.

Thanks everyone.
