The stuff is on the side. Tried Cold water, warm water, overnight soak, simple green, and currently letting it freeze overnight. Any ideas?

I think you may be stuck with elbow grease, sandpaper and files. Its designed not to come off easily, it can be used to repair pipework for plumbers etc.

From my experience, you ain't getting that off without damaging the plastic beneath it I'm afraid. :(

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!! |

The bond is stronger than the plastic the tank was made from.
Even if you sand away the raised areas, getting back to a smooth surface is probably not achievable.

It's possible that oil will remove it. Works for tape and other adhesives.
List the ingredients and search for a solvent for each adhesives chemical / substance
