Hello everyone,
Does anyone have a good suggestion on how to remove this nasty crud without damaging the finish? I think it's glue from the case it was kept in.
It's dry and hard, not gooey at all.
Please help save this otherwise very clean foundation.
Thanks |

| | | | Looks like old tape glue mixed with rehearsal room dirt, yeah crud!
I'd try a bit of WD40 or similar on a cloth to soften it up, let it soak in for a minute, sparingly, works well on all tar-like gluey bits. Just take it bit by bit.
That or alcohol, meths, vodka, surgical, whatever. |

Naphtha.
The glue should easily dissolve with this stuff.

Naphtha is awesome stuff. It doesn't harm Nitro, or Conversion Varnish.

Anyway I'd love to see the cleaned up article! |
