Paddy Galore! Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 thinners or petrol will dissolve it without doing the blue any harm, you can also try warm soapy water, dry and oil her up after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I had this happen to me. All I did was to use gun oil! GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Lighter fluid ? evaporates quickly though so petrol might be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleaned a barrel with the same problem. It works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIVERD Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 As above, WD40 is superb for this, and will do the gun no harm (may even do some good) and is cheap and readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried lots of things to remove the glue left behind. In the end it was MrSheen furniture spray polish that worked. A quick spray and it all wiped off with a soft duster.
