Every CP overlay I've replaced was either metal or had a metal top bolted to the wood control panel. Unfortunately this one does not.

After I took a few layered overlays off of a wood control panel there was a lot of black sticky gunk left.

My question is should I removed all the sticky adhesive prior to putting on the new overlay or should I just use that sticky crap and just put my overlay directly on it?
 
Use some Citrustrip or lacquer thinner to remove all of the old adhesive. You need a nice clean substrate or your new CPO will fail much sooner.
