I stupidly applied some adidas stickers only to find I didn't want them. I then used the hairdryer to loosen them and take them off. Now I am just stuck with glue from where they were. Has anybody got any idea of how to remove all this glue?
Thanks in advance.

Travis Perkins White Spirit worked a treat for my Woodworm. look at pics on 2010 kit for pics :)

Yeah white spirit ftw, just don't use wood glue to stick them down if they're coming off lol. Hopefully Tom's 'awesome' sander has got rid of it ;)
-
awesome thanks, Do you have a link hamps? also where can I buy it from? How, How much do I apply?

Joseph ur bat is clean as a whistle mate.....I'll send u a few pics tomorrow of ut as it's out at the rents as it's a kit free zone in the flat or I'll find myself single very quickly!!

i'll get you a link now mate. buy it from Travis Perkins if you have one near you .. if not B&Q or something like that. Open the bottle, get a Blue and white cloth thing and tip it on not to much. then rub over glue marks and use a toothbrush to remove. it will stain the bat for like a day but it will be fine after that. PLUS DONT USE AN ELECTRIC SANDER WHEN THE SPIRIT IS IN THE AIR AS IT WILL LIGHT lol :)

Think any White spirit will do the trick but I steer clear of it as not the best for the wood... Use a Stanley knife blade and scrape it off before sanding it down

i wouldn't as it might take some wood off ?
-
Not if u keep it flat but then had entirely upto the person in question and how hands on they are I guess...I mean the actual blade not with it in the knife if u use it to scrape off the glue.

Haha. You win ;)

Prob not the best idea to put too much White spirit near the spice as may corrode the glue etc holding the handle in if u go too heavy with it. A light application only if u do use that option would be my advice!
