Webley Mark II Target Box Restoration

[45flint]

I bought a Webley Mark II Target last year that was just about mint. Gladly it came in a box, but the box had been taped up years ago and was very unsightly. A fellow on the forum say he used Methylene Chloride to remove tape on a box he had. Got some a couple of days ago and I thought I would try it on the pellet box to see how it worked. Amazingly it worked a miracle taking the tape off and removing the glue residue. I felt like one of those guys who cleans old paintings with solution and Q-Tips. Still have the main box to do but it should go similarly. But had enough fumes right now!

Here’s the box:



Here is the slideshow of the work on the pellet box:
