you could get one of those keyboard dusters, turn it upside down sp it will freeze it and then chip it off? or use an icecude but that woudl take a while.

The ice cube trick worked for me but I put the ice in a plastic bag an left it there for awhile. I had to do it a couple of times but it all came out and no mess.

I heard WD-40 wworks really well as well as the ice cube bag.

3m wax and adhsive remover would defanatly remove the gum but you need to check for color fastness, it seems like it could be harsh.

Goo Gone works, but I'd try the ice cube trick first.

Whats the ice cube trick? Do you just put ice cubes in a bad and place it over the area you want to clean?

WD-40 works wonders on it... But the ice cubes may be a bit handier and more avail...

I forgot to update this thread. I ended up using WD-40 and a napkin...came up super easy. Just spray, sit a few seconds and pull it straight up. You would never know by looking at it that there was gum there. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.
