Sticker Removal

As you say but lowish heat, hair drier is preferable, try to peel off without breaking the sticker the heat going onto the section coming off, stubborn bits white spirit and very fine cabinet makers wire wool, remove residule any glue with white spirit and muslin rag, and/or ( you know the risks ) petrol, on glass same but its posssible to razor blade stubborn bits.

WD40? Good for removal of stckers on computers, maybe on body shells?

Believe me believe me not....

Pledge! or Mr Sheen! but it must be the one with wax in it..... it is fantastic for removing gungy sticker residue, aspecially on Glass, but also works perfectly well on paintwork...........

WD40 is pretty good at getting gummy sticker marks off as well

I'll second the 'Pledge' my mate runs a second hand shop and buys loads of stuff at auction, used to tear his hair out trying to get all the 'lot no.' stickers off, then he discoveryed 'pledge' You can also get a 'Sticky Stuff Remover' from one of these catalogues that come through your door, 'Betterbuythisware' or 'Kleen-eezy' it's based on oil of orange. Smells nice and takes price labels off CD's just great!

Easy Off or similar oven-cleaner does an excellent job without hurting paint. Let it soak an hour or so, then scrub those suckers off.

Peace,

I notice a few recommendations for WD40, be careful as it is corrosive to certain types of plastics and rubber.

Maplins used to sell a similar spray, though not scented. I don't know it it's still in their current range, but they're work checking. Not so good on auto-electrical connectors, you're paying for the packaging, but there's some potentially useful stuff.

Bunch of whimps. Angle grinder does the job perfectly, has no CFCs and is a reusable product...

Servisol Label Remover 130

Dunno what the '130' refers to, though.

The reason I haven't mentioned it here is (unlike a lot of Servisol stuff), it's crap.

That's a bit over the top in my opinion. A wire brush on the angle grinder is good for removing the charred label, though, especially after a good roasting with the oxy-acetylene.....

'Course, when I said use WD40, I meant with a Zippo as a flamethrower after first dousing the area with petrol and wearing nowt but t' knotted hankie, clenched fists and short moustache tha' knows...

REMOVE stickers?! What hell have I entered?

It's the latest Gordon Ramsey venture.

I have also used acetone with good results. Less aggressive than thinners and white spirits.
