Yesterday I took the tooth patch off of my wooden (ebony) LeBayle baritone mpc because it was sliding off. It left a lot of sticky glue residue on it.
I tried to clean it with some soapy water but there was still some left.
I later tried alcohol and Q-tips and that got more of it off but it also discolored on the Q-tips (is the wood stained?).
I'd like to get the rest of the glue off before putting on a new patch but I'm afraid of drying out the wood to much with the alcohol. All my other mpcs are HR and I'm a bit worried about warping and cracking on this one.
I've owned the piece for less than 2 years and I've oiled it a couple of times with sweet almond oil, the same I use on my clarinets.
I'd like to hear from those of you who have had experience with wood mpcs.
Thanks in advance.
