To get off the glue from the back of preglued velcro - that sticks to *everything*! (especially if it get's hot and the glue melts so it falls off of what you actually stuck it to . . . )     And when the glue didn't want to be viscous anymore - i let it sit in the sun. . . . 

I ended up rubbing coarse grind corn meal into the glue.  The glue sticks to the cornmeal, and comes right off.  With a vacuum and a wet rag. . . . I still need to finish (and then I can put the thing away) - but at least it's not sticky anymore. . . . . 

finger nail polish remover wouldn't touch it . . . .(well, not much anyway.  It was my go-to for tree sap when I was growing up.)

 

** fortunately, I was able to staple the velcro to the item to which I wanted it attached.  (the other side stuck just fine.)  that seems to have worked.  Sewing was out as the glue would gunk up the needle.
