I removed the fabric covering the door panels and can't get the glue off. The current upholstery is roughly 20 years old. Any advice on getting the old glue off? I want to keep the paint on the panels since its going to be a few more years until I get the chance to fully restore the Green Machine. Thanks

I've heard of people removing wood panel stickers by using a heat gun to heat up the glue underneath and pealing the stickers off. People have been very successful at doing this without damaging the paint underneath. You may be able to heat up the glue in this way and then scrap it off with a plastic putty knife or better yet use a mild bug and tar remover to remove the glue once heated. suggestion, wear gloves.

On the 65 they did, it said they had to use a wire wheel.
You might use a wire wheel and spay a light coat of primer to keep of the flash rust. When you get ready to paint it just sand off the primer. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 49 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 49 |

Just a bit hard on the hands with all that heat. On the Gravely Commercial 10 I just did, the graphics were too far gone, and I had to wire wheel em off. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 85 | 66STEPSIDE you might try peerco 321 adhesive remover enviromentally freindly and works well. | | |
