The adhesive is dissolved my VM&P Naphtha. Any hardware store has it.Bought a shotgun that has 2 stickers on barrels and before trying to remove I wanted to see what other people have found to work without damaging the bluing. I guess an angle grinder is out of the question? (Kidding!) Thx!
warm it with a hair dryer
Ol yellow.Good ol Zippo style lighter fluid, naphtha, is best. Most solvents leave some residue behind, naphtha does not. It is great for cleaning knives and other tools as well. And you can use it to start a fire if needed. It is good to have a bottle on hand.
I de-classify packages daily. Hair dryer or even heat gun softens the glue and most stickers will come off if peeled slowly. The gunk left, if there is any, will be removed by gun oil, naphtha or Hoppes 9. Also, use a strip of duct tape to lift the adhesive residue, as duct tape adhesive is stronger than sticker goo.Thx for the replies. I'll try hair dryer and some gun oil and use wd40 if needed. Thx!
