Do you have any pictures?

Are you just trying to repair the seam? If that's the case, "Goo-gone" (available at Walmart among others) probably will work, but I've not had positive results when it comes in contact with a soft outer-ply of the shell, such as mahogany -- but if it's just going to come in contact with the wrap, it will be fine.

Also, sometimes just plain old rubbing alcohol will do the trick -- 90% is better.

Also, for what it's worth, I've used the double-faced taped (available at Drummaker.com) for seam repairs. It's expensive though, if you're only doing one seam...

I'll get some pics when I get home. Four seams to do, 2 toms, one bass. Thick glue seems to be on just the wrap overlap. Holding good on the shell. May be an old repair?

That sounds like it very well could be...

I used regular white elmers glue on my last seam repair and clamped the seams down with a flat piece of wood. \held like. A charm. Also you can wipe up any excess euasily and it dries clear. I only wish I had done this on my Premier floor tom seam repair. I USED SOMEONES ADVICE AND USED EPOXY GEL AND SOME RESIDUE CAME OUT AND IT WOULD not wipe off and dried white. W

as a pain toget off anD STILL upset about it.

Super Glue GEL...

Xylene is the best adhesive remover on the planet. Very strong fumes and very flamable, and it won't hurt the finish or wrap. Regular contact adhesive to reglue the seam. I use the flamable kind, but most people on here use the waterbased. A heat gun will help make the old wrap pliable again, but if your not careful it can ruin the wrap. The super hibond tape from drummaker is very strong. You have to get both surfaces super clean if you use the tape. The tape is expensive, but a roll will last you forever!Super glue might work, but dont get it on the wrap......

Seam just had dust and gunk in it, nothing serious. Some original adhesive residue remains.

Sounds like xylene and q tips are the answer there. What solvents should I avoid?!

Used rubbing alcohol and elbow grease on the exterior to clean it. God knows what the stuff on it was but it's shiny now.
