Exclamation Label Adhesive Stuck to Printer Drum

Mfc-9700 laser printer. Label was stuck to drum. Label removed, but some adhesive remains. Isopropyl alcohol will not remove it. What is a safe product to use that will not damage drum? Thanks.

I have tried many products to clean drums on brother and oki machines and found none realy works.
Only product here that works some times, but not always is MCkenic fast dry, dont know if you have that there!

pour small amount of toner on the surface of drum having adhesive then wipe gently not to scratch the drum.

Window cleaner can usually remove the glue, and it will not damage amophorous silicone drums (black/gray/dark green surface)

Kyocera's old type organic drums are light green like most others, and I know these don't get damage with window cleaner a soft cloth, but I cannot vouch for other makes..

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS.... Unfortunately the window cleaner or toner trick won't work to remove the adhesive, which "baked" on when it hit the hot drum mechanism. Someone on another site suggested lighter fluid, which probably will remove it, but afraid of what it might do to the drum surface. HELP!

Coopers Belt Cleaner....

From Precision roller. It works - just wipe it off.

Or WD-40. Again, make sure you wipe it off.

Spray it on a rag, and then gently gently wipe away your label...

The best stuff by a long shot is Dispersant. It's the liquid toner from the early Savins. It remove adhesive marvelously. It dries quickly. It doesn't damage organics or A-Si (or Selenium Tellurim drums, or Cadmium drums).

Unfortunately it's really hard to find these days. A fine substitute is kerosene lamp oil. Just don't scrub too much! Put a few drops on a cotton pad and just hold it to the spot for a few minutes, then wipe away the adhesive with as little rubbing as possible. =^..^=

We use 100 Proof Rubbing Alcohol you can only get from the Pharmacyt per special order in cases such as this. Also removes most inks from plastics.

MCkenic will shift it. Failing that. Paraffin oil.

Thumbs up

WD-40 worked like a charm! It took the label adhesive off the drum with no effort, and did not damage the drum.

Brother customer support told me it was impossible to remove and I needed to purchase a new drum. Ha Ha!

Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions.
