Long story short, I had my 12-String Seagull guitar in my storage place and I left a D'Addario Humidipak system in the guitar. When I pulled it out after a couple of years, the packs leaked into the body of the guitar. The case was at an angle so all the goo leaked the bottom right corner and I cannot get my forearm and hand to reach the area.
I have no idea how long ago this happened. The outside of the guitar shows a stain which is how I realized it had happened. The wood feels strong, but it's definitely different. I don't think there's anything to be done about that.
I used a pencil to scrape a bit so I could at least figure-out what the consistency is and unfortunately it's like crystalized honey. It's not dry and I suspect it's not going anywhere and will fluctuate with the humidity of the environment.
Anyone have any suggestion on getting it out? I'm a bit slow so I want to make sure I'm not missing a good idea because once I dislodge the stuff, I'm going to want to make sure I can get it out so bits of it doesn't migrate through the body of the guitar as I move it around.
