Removing label - Naptha worked!

[MichaelK]

Many thanks to Dean for recommending (and to tech Joe Glaser for confirming) lighter fuel/naptha for removing gummy label adhesive! It worked perfectly and was completely safe for the finish. I followed it with a little Stew Mac Preservation Polish and it's *almost* like the label was never there. It left a rectangular hazy spot in the finish that you see at certain angles (the label was clear plastic), but the result is WAY less ugly.

What look like a few hairline scratches where the label used to be are actually finish checking.

Before (same pic as in earlier thread):

Nice work. Always good to see those messes depart.

Yeah, who even thinks of doing stuff like that?

I won't mention names, but... well, the label speaks for itself.

There go your wanker tales!

At least I won't need to buy naptha - have plenty of it and other misc. solvents down in the basement workshop.
