Hi;
Here's the site for the Pearson info.

I have used lighter fluid. If that doesn't work then use acetone on a rag. That old glue comes off pretty hard so you will have to work on it for awhile.
Good luck, wish I could find bows like that!
  :thumbsup:

Go Buy a Product called "Goo Gone" don't use aceatone as it will take the factory finish off.

I have used acetone to remove CAMO paint successfully without removing the factory finish

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

I have used Goo Gone many times.  Thus far it has not altered the surface on anything I have used it on.  Does a good job at removing glue.  If the glue is dried, may have to let it soak and then wipe it off.  Can get it at Wally World

It is the user that makes it dangerous, not the gun, bow, or knife.
