▲ 5 ▼ How are you dealing with melting feet on old HP desktops? (midwest.social) submitted 5 months ago by MNByChoice@midwest.social to c/techsupport@lemmy.world 2 comments fedilink hide all child comments System sat on a shelf for about 10 years (running) and the feet melted. I need to remove the residue from a wood shelf, a cotton shirt, and the metal case. A putty knife and paper towels have been helpful, but there is still residue.

Just be warned high percentage IPA can damage plastics. 70% is pretty safe. permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] MNByChoice@midwest.social [S] 2 points 5 months ago Thank you! That worked perfectly on the metal. The wood had some rubber get into the grain, but it worked pretty well. The shirt might be toast.... permalink fedilink source parent
