Removing microfibre strip adhesive from a record?

Whilst cleaning an LP in my Clearaudio RCM one of the microfibre strips was dislodged; smearing the lp with its adhesive.
How can I remove the adhesive (without interfering with the audio quality of a mint record)? I thought of using alcohol on a cotton bud - and then quickly cleaning the record to minimise the effect of the alcohol on the plasticiser - but I am not sure.
Can anyone suggest a solution that they have succesfully tried before? 
Many thanks in advance, Kostas

Not to add to your removal issue but common cooking oil or olive
oil will dissolve  "most" common sticky adhesives.

Of course then you have to remove the oil which is usually 
easier than the adhesive.

I think most people would not allow volatile solvents on any 
prized record, I stand with my reference to using a benign 
oil that is relatively easy to remove with approved record 
cleaning products.
