Anyone know of a way to remove some old grip tape from inside of a saved grip? I was thinking a lot of work with mineral spirits and a long set of forceps but I'm not sure I could find forceps that long... No need for the posts about "why would you save the grip, go buy new ones, etc." These are New Decades with only a few rounds on them.

The tape stuck more to the grip than the shaft? Strange. Anyways, solvent should get it off I suppose. Perhaps Goo-Be-Gone or something like that, as long as it doesn't damage the grip itself.

If the tape sticks to the inside cavity of the grip, it would perhaps be hard to blow it out. You can perhaps scrape it out with a long thing with a hook on it.
