goat Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 After painting there is glue residue on my ebony fretboard from finishing tape. What is best way/item to remove the glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Try rubbing alcohol on it, and then a little tung oil to cover the lighter spot caused by the alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 try meths or naptha (lighter fluid) try onb an inconspicuous spot first! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryeisnotcool2 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 use "GOO GONE" you can get it anywhere! its a citrus cleaner for just that type of thing! i use it all the time on my fret boards! doesnt change the wood at all! and smells fresh! plus it puts a nice smooth feel to the board!

bluespresence Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I'm with rye on the "GOO GONE". The stuff is great and doesn't stain or discolor the wood. Leaves your guitar smellin like an orange grove too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goat Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Great.I have a bottle of that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butnut Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Use the 3M blue painters masking tape...comes off clean. If taping off 'fresh' lacquer, use the 3M green made for lacquer. It's worth spending a little more for good tape. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
