Ok, so after peeling the deck grip off (reasonably easy) I was left with the glue. As I was advised in the previous forum, I began using eucalyptus oil, fantastic if you have a blocked nose , but not affective or quick, as I lack patience. My next test was turps, now we're talking, give the rag a good soak and dribble some on the board, rub in and leave a minute or so. scrape off excess glue and finish off by rubbing more with turps saturated rag. wash down board with warm soapy water to get rid of the oils.
