I recommend a product called "Klean Strip"  Gum and Adhesive Remover  It
comes in a small red and white spray can.  For something like what you are
doing, I would spray it on a rag or paper towel and apply that to your wood.
You can typically find it in the cleaning supplies at K-mart or Walmart type
stores.

My other suggestion is plain old lighter fluid rubbed on the same way.  It
is a great adhesive remover and evaporated very quickly so as not so soak
into your wood.

Subject: [motm] Fixing damage to laquered woodwork



  OK, an odd question, but aimed at the DIY enclosure-builders on the
list:

  I recently got in a keyboard that has been in storage for at least ten
years.  During that time, the foam lining of the Anvil flight cabinets has
deteriorated, creating a sort of oily, gooey mess that has adhered to
areas of the instrument's woodwork.  I need a way to remove the gunk with
a minimum of damage to the varnish/laquer.  If this was just a couple of
wood end pieces I would not be concerned; however, this instrument is
wrapped entirely in mahogany and I can hardly set it up in the living room
as a piano while 30% of it looks like the surface of a putt-putt golf
course.

  Any suggestions welcome; please email privately.

  FYI, here is the instrument in question:
