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?

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!!

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).
