Great Tip!!! How to remove glue, sticker safely from golf shafts., Graphite and Steel shafts.

Found some interesting stuffs... tot of sharing wif fellow GRs here..


==> I recently purchased some clubs and tried removing stickers on the shafts, which left glue/sticky residue on the shaft. I searched online and found several methods of removing the glue. I heard nail polish remover and paint thinner. I really didn't want to try either of those on my graphite shafts and wedge/steel shafts. I wanted to do something in my mind sounded better and not a chance of removing paint, or damaging it. one of my fren suggested an interesting method. Peanut Butter... It works.

I used Creamy Peanut Butter. I spread the peanut butter on with my finger and rubbed it in for a second. Then I let it sit for about 2 minutes. I then rubbed it off with a paper towel and the glue was completely gone. I then took a lightly moist cloth and wiped the shaft. It worked perfectly. You cant even tell that there was glue on it or where the sticker was. Note: on one of my wedges, I didn't try to remove any of the sticker before applying peanut butter, which resulted in me having to apply peanut butter twice, but it still worked perfectly. I don't know the science behind it, but I wouldn't waits my time posting it unless it worked. <===

anybody wanna give it a try and prove the theory wrong??

i think it is the "oil" that does the trick..

Is peanut butter dangerous to our body? I loved peanut butter jelly
thx for sharing .

I thought was petrol or thinner... just a lil' and a paper towel.

I use lighter fluid.. ronsonol or something like that.

not good to remove orginal stickers as they prove genuine

bought 'Goo Gone' from the hardware store...easily removes the sicker. It petroleum based.

so moral of the story is rubbing oil onto our tools should do the work yeah...

Lighter fluid is fine, zippo or ronson, that's the stuff I use. That's what people in the sales line have been using for years to remove the sticky residue from all manner of products, except certain plastics of course.

There really is no worry about shaft degradation from the fluid. Manufacturers are aware that shafts do rub against the inside of bags causing some wear, that's why there is a clear protective coating thick enough to protect against such wear, which in turn should be thick enough not to be affected by the lighter fluid.

I have always preferred removing the stickers for a couple of reasons. One of which is over time when the stickers wear down, the sticky residue starts to smear all around, sometimes getting all over other things. The other reason is whether or not leaving the sticker on the shaft actually affects shaft performance, especially when the sticker is almost 2 inches long and wraps around half the shaft near the tip.

I use an eraser and rub the gluey bits off.

I tried using acetone. it helps

lol i use the eraser method too! just rub without any elbow grease also can and just wipe off with a damp cloth. easiest and cleanest way!

apply heat from hair dryer for a few minutes, then you can easily peel off the sticker...

after which, acetone, goo-gone, peanut butter or oil should do the trick....
