Peanut Butter

Ambrose
A day or two ago, I bought a new-to-me rifle.  It was in nice condition except it had sticky tape residue from price tag or something on the stock.  I showed it to my wife and asked if she thought alcohol or goo-gone would take it off without damaging the stock finish.  She said use peanut butter.  So I smeared peanut butter on it and let it set for a short while.  It worked!  The mess wiped right off.

But now she has a problem:  She often complains, "You never listen to me!"  The next time she says that, I've got a two word response.  "Peanut butter"!

    LOL I believe the oils in the peanut butter loosen the goo but glad it worked for you and you do have a snappy new comeback for her

    You should know that the times that you actually do listen to her don't count and are quickly forgotten.   ;)

    If acetone, toluene, gasoline or MEK can't remove it.... LEAVE IT ALONE!  o:)

    Works well on tree sap too. Not sure but, I think Crisco might work also. Maybe not as well as PB though.

    I have worked with a couple of "old school" guys.............they treat that stuff like water. I guess its part of the job............most recently is AC work where brazing joints results in the creation of phosgene gas. That stuff is nasty.

    I was a lab tech in the Army and we had big bottles of toluene that we used to clean our glass-ware..............nasty stuff.
