Is it like smoked glass? We used wd40 once on some stuff which was a real pain in the backside. Also going to need 100's of blades best in the 15cm unger ones

Did the wd40 work ?

Yes i found it did but like i said you will go through a few blades. you got any pics?

clover chemicals do a tar and gum remover that works you'll have to look on their web site i have used it to remove the sticky residue left by cellotape and masking tape

tried it on one it does work , not brilliant but works, i'm sure i read somewhere it's the cfc's that do it [ the propellent] just looking for something else under the sink/in shed thats got cfc's that i've got loads of.

Use a hair dryer then scrap off with scraper, works fine.
