I have always used "Goo-Be-Gone".....

I have never had a problem with it hurting the finish on my bows   :thumbsup:

Lighter fluid has worked very quick and very well for me with no damage to the finish.

P.S.  I would recommend that you not smoke, if you do, while handling/using it!    :D

WD-40 is a miracle lubricant and works great at removing all kinds of residues.  Try it- you'll be amazed!

Like Whip said, WD-40. Just wipe it off really well before a new adhesive is used.   Bow'narrow

Rub the heck out of it, it should just roll up and come off...
