Unseal is no longer avail, at least to be shipped, and now I have found out that Un-Du from United is no longer available, not being made any more.

What are you using for adhesive remover and where do you get it?
 
I can get Unseal but only because there's a distributor that will deliver that is within driving distance (about an hour away--I order 3 to 4 cans at a time to avoid the delivery fee and the hassle).

3M makes one that's similiar (I've only ever used in automotive applications and not on art so you'd have to test) but you could try it. Hopefully the link works otherwise go to 3M's website and poke around.

Good ol' Naptha has been my trusted friend for years. It is inexpensive at $3-$5 for a quart and can be found in ANY hardware paint department next to the thinners, strippers and acetone. I found it has the same properties of unseal, is cheaper than bestine, and it doesn't leave that oily residue of goo gone.

The only draw back I found is when used in GREAT amounts it leaves a foggy residue (like unseal) and needs to be buffed off with dry diaper-like cloth. It's really no big deal when used neatly.
 
I was wondering the samething. I have a little bit of Undo left, it was recalled :(
 
I'll second the recommendation for Naptha. Also called VM&P Naptha (V arnish M akers and
P ainters). Not only is it less expensive, of all of the solvents available, it is the LEAST harmful, though I highly recommend using Nitrile gloves and either a respirator or a well ventilated space when using it.

Naptha also works well in dissolving ATG, though do not try it on inkjet prints because it will dissolve the ink.
