In changing the mounting tabs inside the cowling of my DHC-2 Beaver from a screw mounting system to magnet mounts, I had to debond three of the four new mounting tabs and will be re-installing them. The debonder did its job effectively but I am left with a mess of sticky, gooey residue. After trying more debonder, then alcohol, neither of which has been effective, it occurs to me that somebody more experienced than I probably has the answer to this cleanup challenge. Thanks in advance.

I gather you can't remove/cut them with a sharp retractable knife while keeping fingers intact?

No, the surgical approach was untenable because the cowl is thin fiberglass and I was concerned that a slip of the knife would puncture it, so I removed the tabs easily enough with the debonder; now I want to remove the residual goo and reinstall the tabs.

Try acetone Ron, but don't let it near any glue joints that you want to keep.
