Removal of Wrap?

Hello AGN'ers!

Wondering if anyone has experience in removing wrap from a rifle stock?
Please, if you have done so, lemme in on any secrets.

Thanks!

Hey Mike
Do you know what is under the wrap?
that would give a better indication on how to proceed
wood/ synthetic/metal?

Mike!

It is a friend's synthetic stock only, no metal, just stock.
Thanks!

not sure if wrapped is the same as Hydro-dipped.
when I see”wrapped” I am thinking it is a vinyl adhesive..like a tape?
or is it a something with a clearcoat over it?

If it is a vinyl wrap you could use a heat gun on low setting or a hair dryer to soften the glue then peel as you warm the areas.

I pretty sure that it is a vinyl wrap. Might have to experiment with it to make certain I guess. I don't think that dipped and wrapped are the same at all. Dipped is applied using a water bath, vinyl is applied with adhesive (?).
More info to follow.
Thanks a bunch for the suggestions so far.

Just getting the ducks in a row
i agree with the heat gun to losses the adhesive. On a vinyl wrap
had it been dipped, I would use a citrus paint stripper

I've changed the wrap a coupe of time on my guns.

Simple...just pull !
If that's a problem for you, use a heat gun to warm the vinyl a little.

You may need some "Goofoff" (or similar) to clean any adhesive that's left on the stock.
