Getting ready to button up my 27" iMac case and re-install the iFixit adhesive strips. I read earlier in this thread about folks having issues with the glass falling off after a day or so. The advice was to be sure you remove all the old adhesive. So, I spent probably 45 minutes with isopropyl alcohol, cotton swabs, plastic opening tool, and paper towel and got most of the old adhesive off, but there's a strip at the top and bottom of the glass panel, that I've spent an inordinate amount of time with and still they won't come off. I know some folks said to use Goo-Gone, but others said it leaves a residue that can cause the new strips to fail and the glass to fall off.
So - I was wondering what folks here used...or if I use Goo-Gone on those stubborn areas, then clean off any of its' residue with isopropyl - will that be sufficient? My plan is to reinstall the strips, mate the glass to the case, then lay it on its back with blue painter's tape holding the two pieces together for a couple days to let the strips' adhesive set. Then stand it up for a couple days, and then finally remove the painter's tape. Overkill? Am I worrying about this too much?
