It is called Goo-Gone. Small yellow bottle, black label. It is primarily
used to take off gum and stuff like self adhesives.

Oven cleaner...

It works.

Very well.

I once made the mistake of using it to totally clean a cast iron lid
that was getting a bit cruddy. Stripped that puppy SO clean, it was
silver colored... and rusted like hell. :-(

Took me a bit to re-season it but I've found that grape seed oil
polymerizes faster than olive oil by far. ;-)

"Easy Off" brand and a bit of sunlight.

thank you all for the tips, i went with oven cleaner, which i already
have, and steel wool to finish it off. worked well. *maybe* a little
cosmetic damage, but not anything that i would care about.

It was NOT Goo-Gone, which removes label stickies, but rather a product
called "Sokoff." It works really well.
