I picked up a nice, complete AR XA today. The main problem with the table is that the foam mat was fused to the platter. I scraped off the foam but what's left is like a pebble finish on the metal. I soaked the outer platter in Goof-Off and let it sit, but it didn't do anything. I took a 3M scouring pad (the non-stick safe one) and it too didn't get off any of the fused foam.
What can I use to get the old foam off? Will rubbing alcohol do a better job than Goof-Off (which I normally use to get sticker residue off of things)?
Thanks,
Chad

Thanks, I'll look for a plastic razor blade. I tried some fingernail polish remover with a paper towel and it didn't do anything. I'll try it with a razor blade.
If it doesn't work, since I got the old mat off, I might just put a new mat over the pebbling.

I would not worry about it too much. If it bothers you and you have a drill just get a fine wire brush attachment and gently use it or, if a cat or dog lover use the poor guy's wire hair brush. The type with no plastic covered tips do a better job. The advantage is it gives you more control.

Yes, I was thinking I'd just put a new mat over the platters. If anything, the pebble finish would give it some grip. :)
