Wow! That's amazing. I rather think those used to be rubber. Suggest mineral spirits, naptha (lighter fluid), GooGone, similar stuff. In desperation, acetone but it's nasty stuff, attacks *many* things.

And/or a razor-blade scraper.

Could try freezing it piecemeal with "canned air" held upside down -- might scrape off clean then.

Yours, David
