Price stickers left on for a while.
Masking tape left on for a while.
Why there? uneducated family members after a death of the firearms owners.
Thank you, Stan! Mike

I get guns in from auctions all the time with stickers on them.

Thanks, I've never bought a gun that had an old sticker on it, and I've never had a problem with blue painter's tape leaving any residue. Thus, the question.
Anybody ever tried any of the citrus based goo removers? I use them in other situations, but never on an oil finished gunstock.

The citrus based cleaners are incredible strippers. I first found that when cleaning an amplifier cab that had old band names painted on it and lotsa stickers. I was using the orange stuff. Lifted every sticker and floated every bit of paint. The 40yo tolex looked near new. Prolly not good on oil finishes

There were some sales stickers on the stock, but the major offender is the residue from a stick-on cheek pad.

The oil finish saved the wood. I have never found a way to remove adhesive stains from either Scotch tape (old type) or masking tape from paper as the adhesives mix with the fibers.

I would try using raw linseed oil with a fine 3m pad.

3M Scotchbrite pads are very abrasive. JR
