I have some duct tape residue on the cabin top that is resisting the scrub brush pretty well. What is best solvent to use to soften it up? Gonna pressure wash soon, looking for next step if that doesn't work.

Yes it does. But was it you that shared it also will turn your fingernails green and curl your toes?
Try gorilla tape on the residue itself and pull back on slight angle.
I was able to remove almost all the residue provided it's still fairly fresh. The tape glue works against itself.

You should use appropriate PPE when using... But that goes for all chemicals. And no, I don't think I made that specific comment about xylene.
On fiberglass, I'd take the xylene and put it on a cloth then wipe off the tape residue. Probably wouldn't pour it on the boat.

Smooth. I know you think I am kidding. Peanut Oil will break down just about any adhesive. There are some that are stubborn, but for the most part, PB will remove stickers from anything.
That's really interesting. I'm trying it this weekend. I have tape residue I'm taking off my boat Saturday.

I just knew that oil would work wonders but I couldn't help myself!
Just a fair warning, PB does not work of "everything" but I found it to remove lots of sticky stuff. Since you have duc tape, try to get as much off as possible. Then put the PB on liberally. I could cover it so it does not dry out. Let it sit for about an hour so the PB oil soaks in. I have used it on different types of tape, but not duc tape. Good luck.
Just don’t add bread and jelly to the mix. You’ll just get hungry and forget about the mission to remove the glue.
It’s not that the dog licks off the glue, which can be a good thing as it saves you the physical labor. It is that the mixture of PB and glue gets stuck to the roof of the dogs mouth. Then what do you do when he/she looks up at you with those sad eyes.
