Old adhesive on a metal CP
northerngames:
a dremel tool with wire brush
burn it with gas and sand it

Just did a metal CP last week. I used gas a scraper and steel wool. If you let the gas soak in it scrapes off nicely. You may need to repeat the steps several times. Then when only little bit of adhesive left and the scraper is just smearing it around use the steel wool. You may want to finish it off with some hot soapy water, to get rid of the smell. In the end you have several ways to achieve the same results, but defiantly remove the left over adhesive before applying the new overlay. Good luck.

With the cost of gas these days, you might be better off having a metal company build a new one. ;)
Also, I agree with spaces - use a automotive degreaser.

Cheers Leapinlew. :cheers:
I am serious, Stobe don't stuff about with a dremel or powertools.
Use that tar remover/degreaser like I said and watch the stuff drip off. There is nothing better, trust me.

Any remover with Xylene works best. You can buy pure Xylene at Home Depot as well.
Good luck!
