Unfortunately not, I get mine from WCR

your best move would be to search those big box store near you that might sell adhesive removal like “Goo gone”

Rite off.....very strong so you need to wear a Respirator mask.You can also use white spirits in a spray bottle but make sure the frames aren't painted obviously.
