I bought a new weatherby vanguard that has a big weatherby sticker on the bottom of forarm. Pulled sticker off but it left a bunch of adhesive (sticky stuff) on the stock. How do I get the adhesive off with out ruining the finish on stock??? Thanks for input. rbh

Sweets 7.62 solvent or Barnes CR-10...

Even Hoppes #9 works reasonably well...

I wouldn't use anything harsh. That Weatherby gloss sucks donkey nuts...WD40 will remove adhesive kindly.. and it would be the only time I'd let it (WD40) touch one of my firearms.

RatherBHuntin;
I work in a cabinet shop and have often recommended this stuff for removing sticky messes from cabinet doors.

If it doesn't wreck the finish we put on cabinets, which is not as tough as is commonly used on gun stocks, I'd expect it to work very well there.

Hopefully that was some use to you and good luck with your stock.

Regards,
Dwayne

+1 on WD-40 and GooGone, I have used both. Neither seem to bother wood finish in the least.

Some good suggestions so far.

OOOO steel wool will do it as well, and used on the rest of the stock will take just enough shine off to civilize the finish.

Alcohol will usually work. It does wonders for removing most inks too.

No WD40? Cooking oil and a rough rag works on a lot of label glues.

WD-40.It's fish oil and will not harm the stock

Spray olive oil. Spray it on a cloth and rub the sticky off.

If you don't have olive oil, use a little peanut butter on a rag. The oil will breakup the tacky residue.

G-96 triple action gun treatment is my first choice but most any lite oil will remove gummy stuff.
