Capt's Pet Posts: 275 10/23/11 04:14 PM - 1 Limits 2011	Tags : None Just went outside to remove the duct tape from my cast net from this season. That stuff is stuck on there and is not readily coming off. It seems next to impossible. Is there a way to get it off? I thought maybe manually pulling off as much as I can and then soaking in mineral spirits to loosen the rest of the adhesive? Mineral spirits works well for stripping wax off of surfboards, never tried it with any adhesives. This stuff is really stubborn. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your responses!

After the tape is off, soak the net with warm (not hot) water and some soap for about 15 minutes, then wash the net by hand and rinse with clear water. Soak with fabric softener before you put the net up for winter. Ed may have a better way, but this worked for me. Boca Raton FL

Capt's Pet Posts: 275 10/23/11 07:51 PM - 1 Limits 2011	for the record the hair dryer method works well. I only ripped one hole in my net removing the tape, a total blonde move on my part, but otherwise it was totally a success. On to washing and fabric softening. Got a feeling that I will be doing this all over again before the end of the month, LOL.

Using the hairdryer will let you skip the wash - that's just to remove the WD-40. The fabric softener is standard treatment for putting up a cast net though - try it. Boca Raton FL

It may take a little longer but it works a lot better. Hello from Eustis, Florida ....... "LOVE to live and LIVE to shrimp "
