Browning Stock lProblem
« on: June 07, 2011, 09:32:39 AM »
I've got a Belgian Browning Auto Five that several years ago I put camo tape on it for turkey hunting. Well I removed the tape and it left a sticky glue like residue on the stock and forarm. I tried alcohol,fingernail polish remover, and just rubbing as hard as I can. Is there any solution that will take off this residue?

I bought a 1300 NWTF edition 12 ga once that had camo tape on it. I used turpentine to remove the residue that was left. It came off real easy with little effort.  It didn't hurt the finish on the shotgun either.

Goo Gone is a brand name that works pretty well.

I would be a little cautious with the Goo Gone or Goof Off products. I would be willing to try a little extra "elbow grease" with turpentine or mineral spirits using a well soaked "open weave" fabric cloth first. That is if you don't intend on refinishing the furniture.
