    favorite brush for removing surround goop?

    I have noticed that some send their drivers great distances to have them rehabbed, I know Jean Hiraga does. I talked to GPA and they recommend acetone for their compound. Has anyone done this or can give guidance to the procedure or favorite techniques.

    I use a narrow natural bristle brush that you can get from Walmart , and
    I trim the bristles so they are about 3/4 inch long.

    as I recall, the solvent is toulene..............GC

    Thanks 604man, I am pretty sure that Bill said they use acetone, maybe toluene was used for the original Altec goop, that I read was a banned product. Thanks again!

    Hmm, bought some Toluene recently at the local hardware store, but Googling it I see it's now banned in a lot of places. Bummer, it's my favorite paint thinner/stripper.

    I use Acetone and rub the old glue off with fingers.
