Best thing for glue removal?
« on: June 11, 2008, 08:14:07 AM »
Hey guys..

I'm resurfacing an old ball for a friend and in the process we were taking the old tape and everything out to start over new and it has some REALLY thick, nasty, sticky glue residue in there...  I've done it the hard way many times over by pulling, wiping, etc. but it takes forever.  Is there a better solution to this I can use from around the house?  Would ball cleaner cut it quick?  I know columbia or someone used to make towlets for this and they were great but I cant find them anymore.

Thanks,

REvans284
