Off-n-On/ Tack it again glue removal

I got some of the Aleenes tack it again and again in the green bottle and decided to test it on the back of my hand.

I LOVE that it stays nice and tacky, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to remove it. EEK!

I have tried C22, Lace release, & 99% alcohol. Initially, the tackiness is gone, but as soon as it's dry, it is tacky again.

Has anyone actually had success removing the glue from their skin?

Thanks

Edited to add-
I have an I-lace system- I am hoping to use the glue to put down the lace front without all the PITA of glue booger removal. I am NOT shaving the top of my head, so I had HOPED that I could also use this glue for the perimeter. That might be just a pipe dream. I already tried plastering the top of my head with Got2B and using ST-30 on top of that, but it felt too loose.

Not sure if this is the same as the Aussie Off'N On glue made by Craftsmart, but I use Pure to get any stubborn residue off my skin and that works extremely well.

I tried some of this stuff on my forehead this morning to see how it worked, and I was very disappointed. It looks and goes on like a white glue, but it comes off as what could only be described as rubber cement.

It took a lot of scrubbing with De-Solv-It to get it off my skin, and some of it got into my side hair in the process and was a bugger to get out. No way does this come off with soap and water; I tried that first.

The instructions for this stuff say to remove it from skin after it has "dried", (and I'd hesitate to call it dry) using vegetable oil. So an oil-type remover is definitely the way to go.

For me, the cheapness of the stuff and convenience of a re-useable tacky surface was wayyy offset by the difficulty in removal. I'm staying with GotobeGlued.

Sassy99, don't even think of putting this stuff in your hair. You said you don't want to shave it off yet, but you'd end up pulling a lot of it out just getting this stuff out. My system goes over a lot of my own hair and after testing it just on my forehead, I'd think twice before letting this stuff get near my hair, or the system's.
