Definitely do NOT apply it directly to the object you are attempting to
cleanse of evil goo. I always apply it first to a cloth and then use the
cloth to buff the target.
I've even used Goof-Off on cardboard boxes with crayon written on them
(you know how some of those thrift stores use wax pencils to write prices
on stuff--annoying). But I applied it to a towel first of course.

Definitely not. I recommend PVC glue.
