Title: Removed grip...now have a sticky mess! Help?
Post by: KyStickbow on March 11, 2014, 05:01:00 PM
Hey guys....I took the stock grip and rest off my new bear montana to install the sur grip I picked up. What is the best thing to get the sticky mess off the bow that was under the old grip without harming the bow?

One of the safest solvents you can use on most anything is charchol briquet fluid. denatured alcohl is pretty good too.

Never heard of peanut butter.   :biglaugh:   .. Good scent for pig hunting eh?

For gummy adhesive I use Ronstan lighter fluid to remove it.  Won't harm most finishes (test a spot first).

If you have any charcoal lighter fluid -- it is the best thing I have tried to remove glue residue.

I used alcohol on mine, but the peanut butter trick would be worth a shot.

WD-40 may work.

+1 on the WD-40.  All of these work.  It really cones down to what you have on hand.

Use Goo-Gone or similar product. Acetone products may harm the finish.

Goo-gone or WD-40, goo-gone is citrus base and the wd-40 is fish oil base neither will harm the finish.
