30. How do I get adhesive off of the surface of the bathtub or shower wall?
Immediately after spill follow these steps:
1.) Pick up excess adhesive with paper towels taking care not smear or rub the adhesive.
2.) Use duct tape or masking tape to blot up remaining adhesive.

If the adhesive has dried:
1.) Gently cut or scrape off the excess adhesive with a razor blade scraper, pocketknife, etc. Take special care not to scrape or cut into the surface of the wall surround.
2.) Use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on a soft cloth to soften and remove the remaining adhesive. Note: Test the alcohol on an out-of-the way area to make sure it will not mar the surface.
3.) Wash the entire area that was in contact with the alcohol with soap and water to remove any residue. Mineral spirits and a putty knife may also be used with care.
