Removing Glue from Label on Reciever.

[Kid]

How to remove the sticky-gunkey-ugly glue on recievers!
In 10 Easy steps!

First Steps
1) Get $2 and enough change for tax in your given location.
2) Take a drive to your local True Value, Dollar Store, Drug store, etc.
3) Get out of the vehicle and enter the building.

Now... for the important part.
4) Find Ronson Lighter fluid. Not sure if other brands work. I amagine they may.
5) Pay for Ronson Lighter fluid. (It's a yellow squeeze bottle with a blue top)
6) Drive home in your vehicle of choice, your own is recomended.

Once at home...
7) Take out your metal bodied M4/M16 series rifle.
8) Find a cloth. (May be substituted with your wife's favorite underwear - that you hate)
9) Squirt a small amount of fluid onto the gunky glue area...

The final step!
10) Wipe fluid from reciever and drool over your gun.

...and if you really want, the Stupid step!
11) Strike match and hold to reciver, best effect if done before wiping fluid from reciever.

Warning!
Do not use lighter fluid cloth to clean your drool. It is poisonous.
Do not use lighter fluid as either a) a sexual lubericant, or b) a Airsoft lubericant
I am not liable for any damages done by taking the 11th step. I am in no way suggesting this step.
Be sure to film and post this step if taken.

goo-gone works better and isn't flammable. leaves your gun with a nice "orangey" smell. rubbing alcohol may work, but didn't do well on my ics m4. and you can smoke while you use goo-gone.

[Kid]

Sure... Goo-gone will work... but do you really want your gun to smell like an orange? Er... that's an obvious yes, but otherwise, what's the fun in having a gun that's not flammable?

Lighter fluid is the way.
Cheap.
Flammable.
All the uses in the world.

:lol:

Um...i have a horraible image BURNED into my head when I tried to do that....

The best thing I've ever found is to just rub it with your thumb. The natural oils and sweat destroys adhesive... sometimes it just bals up and you pull it off.

Give it a shot.

Penguin, I tried that method for abot a half hour. Ended up about half gone and the rest was there to stay. Shot on some lighter fluid, wiped it off, glue was gone. One try. Instant win.

And to yanhchan, I hope you made a video of that. Did you read my warning?
It specifically said that if the 11th step is attempted, it must be filmed and posted.

Lighter fluid all the way for me! I have a Zippo anyways, so I always have some around (hey, whatcha know, I used it today! Sanded the paint off my G19 metal slide, degreased it, baked it in the oven whie wiping gun bluing on it to darker it, then sprayed it with dry graphite spray paint, dead sexy!)

Anyone who wonders about lighter fluid on plastic, I've used it on CD cases for a long time............. yes, used CDs that I'd buy, open, disk at cash, price tag on case. Never harmed them at all.

UAP-NAPA auto parts sells a spray-on glue remover. I can't remember the name of the product but it works great. It is safe for plastic, metal, paint, glass, etc. It was designed for use on cars for removal of stickers.

Also, non-flamable for those of us who may be accident prone and want to keep our guns from becoming a chunk of melted plastic.

WD-40 work great to (at least for metal body like ca and ics, didn't tried it on plastic)

[CDN_Stalker]

WD-40 also works great for removing rosin flux residue from circuitboards when you are done populating them.
