I have a steering wheel from the mid 60s that I want to salvage/restore. I =
removed a layer of what I think was electrical tape, then two layers of wha=
t appeared to be medical tape (the stuff that is reinforced with thread/str=
ing) then another layer of the electrical tape stuff. What I found was a st=
eering wheel with no cracks (sweet!) but now is coated in a sticky ass mess=
. I tried acetone and while it started to cut the sticky it really didn't g=
et rid of it all the way. I also really don't want to take the chance of da=
maging the material that the wheel is made of.


Thoughts please on what might work safely?

Thanks

tim
