Trying to take toe guard off on Newbery bat as I want to use shoe goo instead, but the toe guard is not coming off!

I triod inserting blade from edges but that doesn't work either, any ideas and way of taking them off?

if you have a power sander then can be sanded off. takes a bit of time.
i normally peel them off or cut sections off until only a thin bit is left the blast it off on a drum sander. your probably going to wanna clean the toe up and repair any damage before gooing so your probably gonna be using the sander anyway

use a hair dryer to heat up the glue, should just peel off.

Johners I don't have power sander thanks though I appreciate it!

Fletcher mate, won't it "over dry" the toe region?

[Red Ink Cricket]

no problem mate.

as fletcher said try the hair drier option.( im too impatient for that) shouldnt overdry it. as i said before the toe will probably need a clean up to remove the residue or a repair so after that just give it a light coat of oil to seal it and then once dry goo it.

Hmm cheers make sense.

I added shoe goee on some of my newer bats last night but I didn't oil them before is that okay?

Sorry if I come across an idiot but when you use hairdryer do we use it on side (wind being blowed to the joint), correct?

Thanks a lot for your help mate I really appreciate it

should'nt do mate, if your worried just apply a little linseed oil after.

its prolonged heat that will ruin a bat not 5mins with a hair dryer
