EMT Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 If you haven't already removed the bead. Use some fishing braid or strong thread and with the braid pulled tight and a sawing action you can take the bead off and most of the glue with it. Just need some solvent to remove the little bit that remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I always use isopropyl alcohol to remove any gummy adhesives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srspower Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Isopropynol should do it, I have a easyhit sight and a really love it as it really helped my shooting so why do you want rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Isopropynol should do it, I have a easyhit sight and a really love it as it really helped my shooting so why do you want rid of it? because i dont need one, i look at the target not the end of my gun, my gun points where i look, one of them could draw my eye away from the target and to the end of my gun. thats my thoughts on them?

Westward Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sticky Stuff Remover - Honest, you can buy it at hardware shops. Yep. AKA label remover from office supplies shops. It softens the sticky without harming anything else. Jam makers use it to remove labels from jam jars so it's pretty safe stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny thomas Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 How about warming it up before you chuck bucket loads of aggressive chemicals over your barrels Thats how we remove door mouldings from cars at work I'm pretty sure the sticky stuff is the same Hot air gun or hair drier keep it moving when its nice and warm (just about too hot to touch) it should come off quite easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 The sticky stuff remover is normally orange oil in a gel. Works well on most glue residues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
