Remove Icky Sticky Labels!
Thursday, June 19, 2008
Well, this is a new one on me.
I needed to remove a sticky label from a plastic box and went to search on Thriftyfun for a quick solution. I would normally use Nail Varnish remover but I know that on plastics it leaves the surface a bit rough. (Excellent on glass though).
One fellow Thriftyfun member suggested Mineral Turpentine. Well, I have normal turps so tried that. Wow... it whipped it off quick as you like. I had previously soaked the label off but was left with all the icky sticky stuff underneath. Lightning fast!
Wash the item afterwards with hot soapy water.
Icky sticky labels come off in double quick time with good ol' Turpentine!

Use baby oil, mineral oil or cheap vegetable oil. Oil has compounds that chemically react and bond to the glue. Wipe off the oil, wipe off the glue. Wipe it down or spray (Pam) it, wait 15 minutes and remove.
