I used WD-40 to take the sticky glue from a stick on arrow rest off. Worked great  :)

"goof-off" works well, as well as "goo-gone"

Wait until your wife goes to work.Then get her finger nail polish renmover.100% acetone finger nail polish remover is the best.You may have to use a scotch-brite pad with the nail polish remover but it should remove the camo pretty easily.bd

Dan you might not need the scotch-brite pad.You may be able to get the camo paint off just by using a rag and elbow grease.Got and pics like before and maybe after ?????????  bd

I used WD-40 on one,but it took a while to soften up and then used a plastic scraper and lots of elbow grease. It's not easy if it's been on for a while.
