Jay4Jay -> RE: remove Cordoba GK Studio golpeador (Jan. 13 2022 20:44:32)

Does the guitar's top need any preparation before fitting a new Golpeador? Like removing the naphtha residue, or does it evaporate? Here the details on how I removed the golpeador and the glue. Saying big thanks to all that responded to this topic ! There may be other ways, and no guarantee this works on other /all guitars /golpeadors. Nothing guaranteed ! The golpeador itself was easily removed from the guitar. Did'nt take more than a few minutes. For this part I used a hair dryer, blowing hot air on the golpeador. With caution , it didn't need to be really hot to get the golpeador off. Then the glue that remains sticking to the guitar top...... I used Zippo lighter fluid to dissolve the glue. Only a small amount is needed, sprayed on makeup removal cotton pads. Then I could remove the glue with my fingers. Took a total of approx. 1 hour. Two pictures attached of the removal of the glue.
