    i noticed today there is some hard to remove glue marks on my m18x r2 palm rest . it would be safe to use alcohol on that surface?

    yeah it was indeed a bit tricky to remove with just water so i went to my local pharmacy and got a few cotton swabs with pre applied alcohol and now the stains are gone , thank god it left the texture thing intact . thanks for the tip !!
