Tape on Meter face.

[Chris Trask]

        Same is true when using De-Solv-It and Goo-Gone (or Goo-Be-Gone).
Soak a cotton ball with the stuff and let it sit on the tape residue for a
day or more and that will soften it.  Don't use this method with lighter
fluid, etc. as it might craze the plastic.  I have yet to have anything
marred with De-Solv-It.
