How do you remove old masking tape that is brittle its self from a old 160 or more year old gun stock that has spectacular curly maple stock.
The stock has some length ways cracks that somebody wrapped with masking tape. I don't think chemicals is a good idea. I also believe it is best to keep the stock and barrel together with the pins in place. I was thinking of using liquid loctite crazy glue or the gel type to fix the cracks. I will have to keep current finish protected!! Some body might end up thinking I am a genius or that I am the biggest jerk around! Sound proven advise always appreciated.
