drum sander. Ordered and installed the hook and loop stuff for the
drum, only to discover that I installed the fuzzy stuff instead of the
nubby stuff. Needless to say, the sandpaper won't adhere. So I've
re-ordered and now need to get the wrong stuff off the drum.

Any thought about what I can use to help remove the adhesive backed
fuzzy stuff? The drum is a series of 3/4" plywood disks.

Not really sure. But if you can rig up some kind of support, you could run
the drum and use a chisel to lightly take it off. Kinda like a big lathe.

Have you tried goo-gone or simple cigarette lighter fluid yet? Both will
disolve the adhesive. You will probably have to work your way around it,
but it should work. Let your wood disks dry out afterwards, and go at it
again.

Second on the lighter fluid. It's works great for removing stickers
from your windshield, and most anywhere you have gummy stickers.

Larry, no offense, but if the two of us started comparing stories of
dumb things we did, you'd come in a distant third.

I'd start with a heat gun and scraper/pliers/whatever to get the nylon
loop stuff off, then do a final clean up with Goof Off or Goo Gone or
Goo Be Do Be Do (with apologies to Frank Sinatra).

I use OrangeApeel. It really is a very good adhesive remover and
doesn't smell like some of the commercial adhesive removers.

Larry.... I use a heat gun (low setting) to soften adhesives. I even have
removed formica sheets off of cabnets when I have made a mistake
installing.. Go esay on the heat (slowly) WW

I concur with the heat gun as a first line of offense...

WD-40 works great to take spray adhesives off

Agreed - but a word of caution... Watch the material carefully, all the
while that you are applying heat. And - keep the heat moving. Don't expect
to hold it on a spot until you notice a reaction to the heat then then start
moving the heat - it will likely be too late by then. Gently wave the heat
and let patience (what in the hell is that?...) be your guide.

Can you get a knife or something under part of the fuzzy side?
Sometimes simple physical removal is the best option.

Try a putty knife first, then go to something sharp.

1 lathe + 1 sharp tool = 1 mess and 1 clean(er) drum.

Here's what we used to do in the convention industry: Slooooooooowly peel
what you can. Keep the old stuff that comes off, and daub the glue side to
the remaining glue on the glue retaining piece, and pull it off a little at
a time. I'd estimate it at about a three six pack job.

Heat or lighter fluid (but not at the same time) sounds ok. I would
not use goo gone or any similar stuff because it MIGHT soak into the
wood and prevent the nubby stuff from adhering. Same with WD-40.
Note: I have not had any experience with any of this, just trying to
think ahead.

Hey Larry,
Is there some type of interface that has nubby on both faces? You
could apply that first and then attach your sandpaper to the new
surface.
The downside may be that the sanding surface would not be as rigid as
if it were directly affixed to the drum.
