apbuild Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I removed a cheek pad on my shotgun and had to clean off the sticky mess that was left. I used lighter fluid to remove the worst and nail polish remover to finish. BE CAREFUL,BOTH ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Also be aware that any kind of solvent can take the polish off of your gun, as I know from experience .........best stick to water first! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
