Hey.
I wanna replace one of the vignal decals on my guitar, so I heated it up and scraped it off, but I need something to remove the adhesive stuff left.
...Whats the cheapest, half-assed way of doing it?

On chrome and car paint I use gasoine. I never had to use in on wood so I don't what the effects would be.

Standard Issue Lamp Oil is marvellous for removing sticker glue! I'm talking about the stuff that comes in allsorts of colours made for glass lamps, use the clear stuff as the red, blue, green e.t.c. might stain a bit.

Hope you come right :D

Listen to Nick. Lighter fluid will take it right off.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"

There's this stuff called "Goo Gone". A friend of mine recommended it to me for removing the adhesive that was left on the chrome pickups of my new Epi LP. They had these clear decals indicating they were Gibson pickups. it worked great! I was able to get it at Wal-Mart in the hardware dept. where they have the paint thinner and other such things. Check it out; it's suypposed to remove any kindf of adhesive left from removing things like tape, decals, bumper stickers, et al.

Regards,

Mike
