    How do I clean this off...

    My Dad has a P-38 holster that has old adhesive tape residue stuck to the back. Has anyone encountered this goo before or have any suggestions on how to remove it?

    Greg,

    There's this stuff called Goo Gone, but you also may try WD40 on a Q-Tip.

      Just make sure you test the Goo Gone on an inconspicous location first. I used some on my new gun safe on Christmas morning, it left a light stain.

        I have always used furniture polish to remove tape residue. Its not as harsh as Goo Gone or whatever that product is called. As always test in an inconspicous area before applying to the visible area.

          Thanks everyone,

          We will definitely proceed with caution. The tape must have been the only ting Dad could think of to mark his booty. I found it on a small flag, bayonet, and other items. I'll have to ask him why he thought it necessary to mark them in such a way.

          Everyone have a great New Year,

          Greg

            Goo Gone contains petroleum distillates

            as does WD40 (I think). Try to find something else.

              Take a damp rag and heat it up good in the microwave, it should heat the adhesive enough you can wipe it off. Make sure its not to wet that you are going to soak the leather.

                You might try a commercial leather cleaner or even saddle soap. Just make sure not to wet the leather. After it's removed, treat the spot with a good conditioner like Pecard's Antique Leather Care or Blackrock. DO NOT USE Neatsfoot oil on old leather, EVER. It was designed to SOFTEN harness leather to make the straps chaff the horse less and actually accelerates the rotting process.
