The sticky stuff is generally so viscous that it does not impregnate the roots of the felt hairs, so that gentle scraping tends to roll it off in little chunks. If you have already treated the gunk with some kind of solvent, this scraping may not work, since you may have dissolved the stuff enough to let it really soak into the felt. -- (O)((O))(((O)))((((O))))(((((O)))))(((((O)))))((((O))))(((O)))((O))(O) (O)((O))((( slehar@bucasb.bu.edu )))((O))(O) (O)((O))((( Steve Lehar Boston University Boston MA )))((O))(O) (O)((O))((( (617) 424-7035 (H) (617) 353-6741 (W) )))((O))(O) (O)((O))(((O)))((((O))))(((((O)))))(((((O)))))((((O))))(((O)))((O))(O)
