Kinda late, but a thought occurred to me and didn't die of loneliness.  
I think a waterless hand cleaner--GoJo, etc.--should work well and not 
be as toxic to the wheel as adhesive remover or other solvents.  It's 
'gentle' enough for skin and does a good job removing upholstery glue 
when I make a mess with it.
