Removing tape tar from shaft?

[Wildcat85 0]

Got a stick with the tape tar on it (the kind you rub on). I want to get it off completely but I can't seem to make anything work. What should I use?

Mineral spirits and elbow grease.

I don't think I have any of that. Would wd40 and a rag work too?

I use Goo-Gone when I want to remove any kind of residue from my sticks.

Another vote for Goo-Gone too, you can use it for other cleanups as well

Goo Gone works wonders, i let the goo gone soak well around the gooey parts and use a soft sponge to rub it all off.

I even did this to remove spray paint off shafts.

The wd40 worked amazing. Sprayed it on a paper towel, wiped it twice and it was gone before I knew it. Highly reccomend wd40

I like how you start a thread asking for suggestions, then just do whatever you were gonna do anyways :)

+1. I just put a healthy dose of Goo-Gone on a paper towel, works perfect.

I was going to try goo gone but I didn't have any so I tried wd40 haha. Can goo gone get paint off the bottom of a stick too? Its not very thick and I can scratch it easily with my fingernail.

Goof off, goo gone, and WD40...any of those will work to take off adhesive residue.

it's much more potent than goo gone, so you need to be careful with it lol
