We still occasionally rent sound equipment, and I just finished checking in a small sound sytstem rented by a student group. WHAT A MESS!
These guys had carefully taped down all the mic and speaker cables using duct tape-not the best choice, but certainly a common one. So far, so good.
When it came time to strike the cables, instead of taking up the duct tape, they pulled the cables up through the duct tape. Not an easy task! It took a lot of extra effort.
Now each cable had a thin stripe of duct tape (with bonus adhesive) running along its length. To top things off, they had left all the cables in somebody’s hot car trunk over the weekend.
Pulling a cable up THROUGH the tape forces the adhesive (a very sticky natural rubber) against the cable and coats it all over. Because the tape is mostly vinyl, with just a little fabric to reinforce it, the vinyl bonds itself to the wire jacket and immediately begins to attract dirt and stick to everything it touches.
Time for the Camie 22/80 Citrus Adhesive Remover. I have never seen anything perform as well as this stuff for removing sticky adhesives. Camie Citrus Adhesive Remover works wonders. Just a quick wipe with a soft cloth along the length of the cable cleans this problem up in a hurry. It works really well on scuff marks, latex paint, and all sorts of other sticky problems.
