Removing sticky marks left by sellotape from Lego
Bought a used set today (note to self - this is why you don't buy used sets....) and the seller had for some insane reason stuck 50% of the pieces together in strips with sellotape. So sellotape on both sides if lucky; wrapped in a sellotape parcel if unlucky.
After ages peeling it all apart I've washed it in soapy water, tried a glasses cleaner, melted one piece slightly with acetone and used some gentle kitchen cleaner, all to no avail. The pieces are as sticky as ever.
Sort of tempted to send the lot back for a refund, but it was pretty cheap so if anyone has any suggestions for removing said goo, I'd be grateful. i've searched the forum and can only find suggestions for glue, none of which have worked.

Incidentally, the peanut butter probably works because of the oils, which also dissolve some glue. Unfortunately you then have to clean off the oil.
