Title: Too much Insert Iron and GT Trad shafts. Uh oh....
Post by: highpoint forge on October 31, 2010, 02:17:00 AM: How can I clean up the extra Insert Iron that squishes out of the shaft when gluing in brass inserts? I guess I should have wiped them off right away, but this stuff has dried and it's quite rubbery and tough. I just don't want that dried coat of adhesive impeding penetration.

Any tricks for removal?
