    Yay I just used this method to remove a stubborn Value Village sticker on a book and it worked perfectly and easily. There’s no trace of the sticker now and the book wasn’t damaged. Thank you!

    That’s something I didn’t know. Very clever! Also - rad stereo for $6.99!

      Thanks Jeremy! It is a cool radio for 6.99 but if you check out my other video of taking it apart, I found out the thing is smoked. Try before you buy!!

    Thank You!!! Those stupid stickers always bug and I don't like using that goo gone or goof off stuff. Now I just have to remember to pick up some rubbing alcohol when I'm at the store. Thanks for posting this tip 👍😎👌

    Good tip.
    My go to label remover: 1) I use hair dryer to heat it up. Hot but not too hot. This usually softens the adhesive enough to peel it off; adhesive and all. next go to: (If possible (i.e,. label on plastic or glass) I put the item in the microwave for 30 seconds @ 1,000 watts (it's faster than #1. then for tougher labels...3) I do the soak in PB Blaster or WD 40, That will get about anything off. Final option, I soak and clean with Acetone. Acetone is relentless.
    -
    When I was in the industrial chemical business we recommended Caustic Soda or Potassium Hydroxide (Lye) heated solution for metal and plastic paint removal. It's a great stripper.
    -
    I've never tried the alcohol soak. It's kind of a weak solvent.
    -
    For plastic and aluminum stripping, cleaning, and degreasing we always used Sodium Metasilicate (powdered dishwasher soap has sodium metasilicate in it as the main ingredient). Heat it to a boil for one hour.

    This video is a confirmation I used the right fluid for removing the price tag of my vinyl record cover. I fist learned this when I was working in church ministry. We would record our services and make copies and label them. Sometimes the label won’t look right on the cassette so we had to remove the label. To remove the label we used lighter fluid and a pair of Q-tips. We would dip the Q-tips in lighter fluid and then apply it to the label. We would wit a few minutes and peel the label off. The label comes off smooth and clean leaving no sticky residue. Thank you for your tutorial video and confirmation I used the right thing.

    Awesome! I bought an expensive smart door lock and don’t you know they put one of these stickers right on the face of it. I didn’t want to scrape it off and scratch the paint, worked great.

    Took some effort, but this worked. I would suggest people used old cloth rag with some alcohol to remove gunk, it won't break apart like paper towels.

  • @Liiiiiiiiisu
    @Liiiiiiiiisu 3 года назад +6

    I use few drops of any kind of oil when most of the paper from the sticker is ripped off. Don't have to wait and needs a little scrub with sponge or rubbing with fingertip (if items material is delicate)

    • @jeffreyb180
      @jeffreyb180 Год назад +1

      Wow.. works great. thanks.. I ordered something from online I collect.. they put a sticker on the clear plastic packaging dead center......completely blocking the item.
      Now sticker is gone like it was never there. 😮😮😮

  • @rabbitonsteroids95
    @rabbitonsteroids95 3 года назад +1

    Nail polish remover with acetone works. Let it rest for 20-30 seconds, don't touch it, and the tag should come right off.
    Goo and all.
    If it has benzyl benzoate, even better.
    ..given, these are both ingredients you could find in jet fuel..

  • @FilCanJay
    @FilCanJay Год назад +3

    That doesn't always work. Alcohol initially to remove the paper on top. My suggestion next is to use Olive oil or Turpentine to remove the sticker residue. Comes right off with your nails intact.

    Use a plastic closer from a bread bag instead of your fingernail. It won't scratch and it will save your manicure.

    Just do this;
    1) put scotch tape on price part and, then strip it off
    2) use a damp rag to rub all over sticker, boom, it crumbles and starts to disappear.

    I wish I could add pictures to this but I didn’t have any rubbing alcohol so I used nail polish remover and it looks sooo bad! Sure the sticker came off but it ruined the plastic and removed some of the writing! It’s a lipgloss btw
