Unsticking the gelrest: Does this gelrest make the original chin rest sticky when it's removed?

"Detachol"--from surgical supply stores or "Goo Gone"--from dollar stores, should remove it without damaging the chinrest surface. Just be sure NOT to get any solvent on your violin top. If you do not remove your chinrest, put a freezer bag and rag under it to protect your violin top.

I have had my tray to stick on occasion. I just hold the top edge and pull the tray. It always comes out. If you pull it out all the way, you have to release the stops on both sides to push the tray back in. Once you get the tray out, rub a candle on the metal edge to wax the sides. It will slide easier.

Yes, but you have to unscrew the cap to use it and then the dampening tip is exposed again. Adonit said they will send me a new one after some back and forth. Perhaps I had a faulty one?

Yes, but the longer it stays on the harder it might be to remove. If it doesn't all come up nicely when you want it to, you can use some kind of goo remover to get the rest with a scraper.

It supposed to be able to be used over and over again, but I don't use the gel pad. I screwed the mount on my dashboard and that is the strongest placement so far from all the mounts that I had.

NO! no matter what. Do not remove it if you mess up or if its slightly misaligned because if you try to take it off the the area which you peeled from will lose its adhesion and look weird.

I've never tried to remove it, but it is stuck on there pretty good. Sorry I'm not much help.

It has been a while, but I think I just carefully cut it off and peeled it off. Worth the effort. Love the seat.

Sorry , Yes it does come off with the back rest pad, like the previous answers.

No it does not. It simply adds a thin layer of padding between your cheek and the cheek rest.

Actually I did not realize the tray came off until I read the other replies. It never seemed to budge when I've cleaned it so I've just left it alone.

The section of my dashboard that I have it on is smooth but the grip with the jelly thing on the bottom is so strong that I think it would. When I went to reposition the mount, it was hard getting it to unstick.

Not really. Mine gets stuck too. Not much you can do but pull it off and reposition. It doesn't happen all the time. Maybe the manufacturer has a solution.

The next time you get it off, and before resealing it, you should always use a little bit of Vaseline to lube the threads of the housing. If you do that, the next time you remove it, it will be much easier. A tiny amount of Vaseline also helps seat the O-ring properly. Vinegar and a warm water soak is also recommended for your first removal. I have not tried that, but it is in the instructions and makes a lot of sense.

I have not been cleaning the gel off and it works well still. After a couple of weeks the gel will turn into a glob which you can pull off and re-gel or just change your pads.
