Gaper tape adhesive and sky lite netting

[Gerry N]

morning everyone, In the process of "sorting out" our 1997 Abbey vogue 216, I have had to remove some tape from the outside skin can any one suggest something to remove the glue residue that will not damage the skin, also the sky lites have a kind of Fly screen of a mesh material would anyone know where I can Purchase some?

If it’s the meshed cream plastic square these are available on eBay for about 10.00 or Googling ‘caravan fly screen mesh’ brought up rolls of mesh that could be cut to size on Amazon and EBay which would ba a cheaper alternative.
WD40 might soften the goo so it can be wiped off - take care as you will be aware that the paint surface is only microns thick!

Be aware that the previous owner may have used the tape to seal a leaking joint - removal of the tape may lead to water ingress!

Sticky stuff remover. Amazon or pound shops. Does exactly what it says.

I would also try WD40.

 

[Mr Plodd]

White spirit, thinners, meths, or pretty much any other solvent. Just be sure to keep whatever you use OFF the windows.
