Howdy friends
TL;DR look at the photos below, I'm not sure exactly what adhesive is shown, but how would I get rid of it?
I tore down my 110 today and I'm moving, and I want to repurpose the tank. I have a really cool idea that I'll admit I'm not ready to share yet, but I need help on getting this bad boy looking better. The last owner used some type of glue/adhesive to make a 3D background, and nothing i've done has gotten rid of the marks. I've used razors, bleach, barkeeper friend, salt, vinegar, etc. and the stain won't go away.
I may have access to laboratory grade chemicals and could bring home up to 200mL or so of something if there's anything either to dilute or use straight up that won't leave any lasting issues. (I will have all proper safety equipment if I need something heavy duty) I was thinking glacial acetic acid or muriatic acid may be strong enough and not cause any issues, but I wanted some advise. I'll add some pics below so you can see what I an working with.
Thanks!
