In less than the age of a coon, it will oxidize and glaze over and be fine. Those of us who are putting strips of rubber tape and Velcro hook on checkered butts and plastic buttplates should have your problem. Kikeez has a sticky pad and a remedy for same but probably any greasy, oily, congealing contaminant you can get on the "shocking pink pad" intentionally or inadvertently will accomplish your end in time. I think petroleum jelly would fall into the "slop it on and wait" category of solutions. Could be some hocus-pocus with lighter fluid, heat guns, and similar incendiary arcana, but you might say "not with my pad".
