[Shop-talk] sticky mess removal

[Tim .]

I was looking for suggestions and hoped for items I had at the house. WD40 and dish soap I have. I know of googone but don't want to buy anything. (I am in hard core cheap ass mode right now.)


Thanks again all

tim

Goo Gone products are excellent at removing gooey, gummy messes without harming your surfaces. See all our products and learn more.



    According to their web-site it'll even get rid of in-laws and bad music.  I never thought of using it for those . . .

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 what appeared to be medical tape (the stuff that is reinforced with thread/string) then another layer of the electrical tape stuff. What I found was a steering 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 get rid of it all the way. I also really don't want to take the chance of damaging the material that the wheel is made of.



Thoughts please on what might work safely?

Thanks

tim
