If you have gum there remove it using goo-gone or de-solve-it.
After that some progressive sanding with
100 then 220 then 320 and finally 400 grade sand paper, you can go up to 600 if you choose.
Little bit of Sanding should make the bat face uniform in color.

Sandind the entire bat? Or is it only in sticker area?
Along the grains or accross?

Entire length of the bat mate and always with the grains

We use Pelican Release Non Sting Adhesive Remover, which Simon May kindly referred us to, for this kind of job. We use it more for removing scuff sheets and stickers, but it should still work OK with this kind of residue, too. Just be prepared to get your finger nails dirty!!

is the splice split on that bat?

Would be interesting to see. I have had a couple of splices with black lines down them, similar to the above. They have been fine and dandy. They looked like a split, but wasn't.

Yes entire bat even strokes through the blade and just a little sanding nothing crazy.
Here is an old SG I did last weekend.

I am no expert by any means, just doing it for fun after reading some threads on the forum. There are a lot of good folks here who know a lot about bat and bat care.

Mate, be careful.
I refurbished my RNS Larson Unik last year and the glue is ridiculous - rubber cement-like.
Went through a large number of rags, white spirit and sandpaper to get it off.
Just bear this in mind. It won't be the easiest of jobs but will EVENTUALLY come off :)

im not sure :)
It sounds like it might work and then you can sand off any burnt bits that are left behind, if it goes wrong at least it will be good fun.
Everytime ive tried to get teh glue off its been a real pain. I found the best way is to scrape it off with a credit card or your nails (if you have any).

Just to double check...
can i sand the bat face?
One of my friend said not to ever sand the bat face... is it true?
-
You can sand the bat face.
I've done it on three bats so far this month and I've not seen a performance issues with any of them.
Be sure to Oil your bat and leave it for 24 hours after sanding it.

If solvents won't work, then the kind of heat gun you use wfor wallpaper removal in short bursts works. Hels having a spare pair of hands to use that though!

I should only use dry sand paper correct?
Also looks like the sand paper is made of different types of material. which one to use?
Aluminum Oxide, Ceramic, Flint, Garnet, or Silicon Carbide ????

I got these from home depot in different grits.

They also have a multi grit pack that goes from 60-100-180-220.
I couldn't find a multi grit pack above 220 grit.

The finish will leave the wood willow condition same all the way down the face.
You should aim for a lovely smooth finish..

you can use a little vegetable oil to remove glue residue. when you've got all the glue off rub the bat down so its dry then start with a low grit sandpaper, 60-80 and work your way up through the grits to a 220 or higher. I draw pencil lines on the bat after each grit then rub them out with the next one so I know I've sanded all areas equally
