How do you remove glue from wood cabinets after removing shelf liner?

Help! I have removed the old shelf paper that was glued to my wood kitchen cabinet shelves. The glue residue is awful and won't come off! Its very sticky. I have tried GooGone, Acetone, Laquer thinner, Alchohol, Vinegar, Soap, 4O9, and I can't remember what else. It is still so tacky and sticky. I turned the shelves over to use the clean side, but the bottom shelves are part of the cabinet and can't be removed. I really don't want to reapply shelf paper.

Try Goof Off. Removes paint spatters may work on the adhesive. Mineral Spirits may work. -

WD40, Goof off, or Goo gone, all have worked for. Me.
