Alcohol will usually work. Alcohol DOES work! Makes you forget all about the sticky stuff...... Yer all over the place tonite . Getting lubricated (with good wizzkey) does make you forget many things....... IIRC.

I've used lighter fluid on a lot of stuff. Don't let it soak, though. It will soften the glue very fast, then wipe it off quickly.

Naptha (lighter fluid) cuts through rubber based adhesives used on labels and tape like a hot knife through butter. It leaves no residue, like WD40 does, and will not attack the finish.
I use it in my music store to remove stickers from electric guitars without damaging the finish. Use it in a well ventilated area.

WD-40.It's fish oil and will not harm the stock That's why some of the local guides spray it on baits. They claim it really improves their clients catch rates.

Most of the time, a "sticker" warmed a tad with a hair dryer first, will peel off and take the adhesive with it, rather than leaving the gunk on the surface. Especially on plastics and varnished finishes.
Naturally, one has to proceed carefully with applied heat.
I've had good results with rubbing or denatured alcohol on some adhesive residues. Denatured alcohol is far more effective than rubbing alcohol, which has a high water content.
If that doesn't do it, then lighter fluid (naptha), mineral spirits, or as a last resort - lacquer thinner. Most of the GooGone paint and tar remover products are based on lacquer thinnner.
WD40 dissolves quite a few adhesives.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

1 qt Benzene 1 qt acetone 3 T clorine bleach 1/4 cup Drano 100 capsuals pseudoephedrine Mix it all together and boil it on the kitchen stove for 1/2 hour. Strain the mix through 4 layers of cheese cloth and let it dry. Add 1 t to a cup of coffee and go to work on the stock.

Seriously though.
De-Solv-it citrus solution.
I always keep a bottle in the house for removing decals and adhesives. It works great and it's very mild. I even use it to remove juniper sap on my dog.
