Eww! Removing gum from the bottom of the keyboard...

[cosmoed]

I left my nephew unsupervised and well... lets just say I came back and "Good Will Hunting" was stuck to the bottom of my keyboard. A huge chunk of gum.

None of it got in between the screws or keys, just on the flat plastic part. I removed most of the gum but how do I remove the rest of it without scratching or leaving it sticky?

I've heard of two solutions: freezing it (makes it easier to get off) and peanut butter.

Thankfully, I've never had to use either of those solutions.

Ouch. Hmmm... well take a damp Q-Tip and kinda try and get it off that way..


That sucks man..

Try ice, harden up the remaining ice and then scrape it up with a towel or somthing. Also this stuff called Googone and it works pretty well although it smells really strong

LOL...Thats too funny!

Take an ice-cube and see if you can make the gum as hard as possible and then try and GENTLY pry it off.
