Removing old tape....

[captpat]

Is there a easy way to remove OLD tape from graphite (or steel) without major elbow grease (scrape and rub)?

Heat it with a heat gun or micro torch...or any torch just don't get carried away.

Without heat!!! I'd be skeered.

I've heard denatured alcohol is good for loosening old grip tape up so that it comes off easier.

I typically just peel it off piece by piece and use some goo gone to get the excess off. Haven't had a chance to try denatured alcohol yet for tape removal.

If you dont have a torch laying around you can use a hairdryer.

Vegetable Oil

Label Off, Label Remover, Citrus Cleaner or something like that. It's a liquid solvent made for loosing up glue and tape. Works very great, I've used it myself. After cleaning off the glue or tape, I wipe it over with lynolium or some other alcohol based solvent that remove all excess solvent without leaving anything on the shaft.

Carburetor cleaner. That's what then use to lube them and slip the grips on.

WD-40 will work, also charcole lighter fluid, and the above mentioned.
