I have a really old inherited pump shotgun. It was wrapped in camo tape for years. I took the tape off and there is sticky residue from the tape all over the metal and wood. I finally figured out that WD-40 removes the residue from the metal. I started scrubbing the wood with 0000 steel wool. It does take the residue off, but it seems to dull the wood finish.
The wood is all beat up and cracked because it is so old. Is there a better way to remove the residue other than steel wool? Does mineral spirits work on the wood? The wood is beat up, but this is an ancient gun, Remington 10-A. What should I do to clean up the wood? Continue with the steel wool or something else?
I do not recommend anyone put camo tape on their gun. It really leaves a sticky mess to clean up.
