Delurking ...........BOO.Fiberglass tub or enamel?Goo gone gets to a lot of adhesives and smells nice as well.Use it on fiberglass or enamel tub.If it is an enamel tub you could also try coleman fuel (the coleman fuel shouldn't chew up a fiberglass tub either)or carburator cleaner on them.(open the windows and don't smoke)Good luck!......lurking.........lurking....fading awaaaay..

There's this stuff called Goof Off that will do the trick. It is pure evil and your brain cells will all be going to a funeral for those killed in action. But it will work. Good luck, and OPEN the windows!!!

I removed some one time by pouring boiling water on them, then pulling them off as soon as it cooled enough to touch. Then I cleaned up the sticky stuff with nail polish remover (acetone). The removal wasn't instant. I had to repeat the process and tear off hunks of the flowers.
