tape/tape mark remove advise

Try WD40, wipe some on the tape and let it soak into the tape and it should start to lose it's grip on the veneer.

Try WD40

Works great on sticker residue, so I expect it would with the same for tape,
-but- I've only used it on non-porous surfaces, such as glass, some
plastics, and hard-painted metal (e.g., cars). As it includes a penetrating oil,
I'd go very light (and remove fairly quickly) if you try this at all.

Think I'd try jaybird's suggestion first. my 2 cents, anyway...

effects.

I agree with jaybird, naptha is a solvent that will quickly dissolve most sticky stuff while leaving the finish untouched. I've used it on all sorts of tape residue for years now.

I've had great results over the years with Ronson lighter fluid.
The one for the Zippo lighters.
Put a paper towel over the spot and put the lighter fluid on the paper towel.
Takes about 20 to 45 seconds. That way it will stay put on the spot.
Great for also taking off pricing and store labels.
Works good for old masking and duct tape residue.

I believe most lighter fluid is just naptha.
