Cleaning mic cables

[Jupton24]

I have recently taken on a new job where the previous person has used lots of cloth and packaging tape to tape mic cables down. Though the cables are just covered in this sticky gunk left from the tape. What is the best thing to clean and remove the gunk that won't destroy mic cables? Thanks Edited June 13, 2021 by Jupton24

IPA from cpc has always been good for me. Going forward use a good quality low tack gaffs to avoid the situation again. I use a brand called advanced.

Mr Sheen is really good at removing glue gunk and cleaning.

 

I also use it for the PVC windows on my boat.
