Poppy turned me on to this product and it works great.

I removed all the left over wrap glue from a Slingy bass not long ago using the stuff.

Open all windows or be prepared for a killer headache..... strong stuff

I intend to remove the left over wrap glue, but I have a question about Xylene. will it prevent the new glue sticking to the shell and will it make the shell flammable.

in other words does it completely evaporate

Takes about a day to completely dissipate I've found.

I clean with neutral mineral spirits after that, wait another day, then start wrapping.
