Title: I got stupid
Post by: augiedog55 on January 19, 2011, 10:23:13 AM

Yesterday I went down to and looked at one of my turkey guns. I had left the camo tape in it from last yr. Boy was I stupid. It took about an hr and a half to get it off. Lots of hoppe#9 and rem oil to loosin it up... i'll never do that again.. >!!

That must have been real fun! Can't say I've ever done that but my ole guns could probably use some tape to hide all the imperfections.

I just leave mine on until it wears off, then replace it. Roc  *up* *up*

 Next time........use dry cleaning fluid.....it cuts right through that crud. Gasoline will also work.....but not as well.

  Yep I am guilty of the same.. My 20 guage ended up with a bunch of rust under the tape.
