Tips on getting those damn stickers off?

Silly question, but my stickers are being a pain, not coming off well.

Anyone have any tips/tricks for getting them off?

Thanks,
Ser

 

Rubbing Alcohol or Finger Nail Polish Remover. Those worked for me. I also removed super glue from my screen with it

 

Acetone is what you want.

It the main chemical in nail polish remover. You can buy it at DIY stores. I have a bottle of the stuff called "PVC Cleaner" that I bought for something else, but always comes in handy for dissolving glue.

 

Wouldn't acetone attack the plastic? I remember using acetone to clean my keyboard a while back and it damaged the plastic.

 

I wouldn't use Acetone either.
When I removed the stickers from my old toshiba, I simply rubbed them off with my fingers. Needs some time, but works without damage.

acetone dissolves some plastics. you also risk dissolving paint. altogether not recommended, that is. stickers best come off using a hair dryer or hot air gun to warm them up. take care with the hot air gun though.

 

acetone is a bit more corrosive than Isopropyl alcohol, but the trick is not to apply to much pressure, because it will take away the paint if too much is applied or rubbed too hard.

 

Use wd-40. spray it on, then wipe it off... worked for me on some different projects.

 

Household spray furniture polish disolves many glues. Put some on a finger and work into the sticker edges and remove.

Acetone will melt many finishes as stated. WD40 is pretty safe as already mentioned.
Best of all for stubborn labels is "Plusgas"

 

I agree with this. I peel of the sticker first but that leaves the glue residue, but spraying furniture polish directly on it does the trick. Just leave it to work for about a minute, then with a tissue just clean it off. Works really well
