Best solvent to clean Vibrapod marks?

I "used" Vibrapods to isolate my gear on my audio rack. Well, come to find out, they leave a rubber like substance on the surface when you remove them to clean, etc. Does anyone know the best solvent that will remove this stuff, that won't take the stain or finish off the wood? I have tried some mild solvents to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I looked through the threads, but could not find any other references. Thanks!

I suspect that toluene or xylene will work but be very careful as both are quite flammable.

Avoid skin exposure as well.

Afterthought to my first post.

Toluene and xylene are very agressive solvents and may attack the coating/finish on your wood.

So if the wood has a topcoat, test a very very small area first. If the wood does not have a polyurethane or varnish finish, you have nothing to lose.
