    Default Drum Wrap Repair

    I have 15" and 16" 35 year old Ludwig concert toms that the wrap has come up at the end. The weird thing is the glue that was used stuck to the under wrap that was just under the outer wrap and it is old, brown, and ugly. The outer wrap actually pulled away from the glue. It is a easy fix if I can just get that old glue off without ruining / scratching my wrap finish. That brown in the pic is old dried glue on the silver sparkle wrap.
    Could I lightly sand it or use some type cleaner that might soften that up and wipe it off. Maybe a fine abrasive cleaner.
    Just wanted to get some opinions before I start because I am sitting here looking at it and want to do something about it. Driveing me nuts.
    also, whats the best glue, adhesive to re-glue that end wrap if I can get that old dried glue off.

    Looks like a intermitently combination of Fingernail polish removal, goo gone, and a little abrasive colonial brassy surface cleaner, did the trick.
