This softens the glue and allows you to gently peel off the label. My tool for this is a cheap heat gun from Harbor Freight - about $10-$12. It is possible that putting the item in an oven would work, but I never tried it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-89231119908610501092018-05-20T07:11:36.022-07:002018-05-20T07:11:36.022-07:00I have found this scraper from Amazon to be very u...I have found this scraper from Amazon to be very useful for scraping old caulking and decals, has replaceable blades and additional blades are available from Amazon as well https://www.amazon.com/Ehdis-Visibility-Plastic-Scraping-Windshields/dp/B01HLWB0BM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1526825112&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=Ehdis+1.5%E2%80%9D++Plastic+scraper&psc=1Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-75428816640784734232018-05-19T20:45:31.014-07:002018-05-19T20:45:31.014-07:00I use WD a lot to take off glue from labelsI use WD a lot to take off glue from labelsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-61223045439155220762018-05-19T17:34:31.142-07:002018-05-19T17:34:31.142-07:00Wolfe,

When I'm swearing and prying some highly explosive electronic device apart, the sound is definitely what I'd imagine a North American spudge to sound like... I imagine some sort of very irate tunnel-dwelling animal with a bad temper and a lot of grunting... Sorta an over-caffeinated badger with a penchant for electrical engineering... :-)Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066904198364843577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-71446321955005142952018-05-19T15:38:09.797-07:002018-05-19T15:38:09.797-07:00I had the exact same thought, WM... but we share ...I had the exact same thought, WM... but we share the same overtaxed "whadayawant" state. The millenial clerk is more likely to thank you for getting out of her line than help with labels.<br /><br />As far removing sticky labels, it may sound overkill, but I only use the citrus GG on more delicate things, which I seldom buy. On glassware and ceramics, I use a papertowl dipped in gasoline/kerosene/lighter fluid. Cuts the glue MUCH better than orangey stuff. Just wash it before you make your coffee if the label was on the inside.Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066904198364843577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-27433913909388118762018-05-19T11:20:01.381-07:002018-05-19T11:20:01.381-07:00MrTommy,

Problem is, I forget this when I'm buying stuff and don't remember it until I'm home "swearing" at the almost irremovable labels.

I've had plastic scrapers like this on my sink for decades to deal with the burnt-into-ceramics aftermath of my long-bake casseroles and roasts. I don't generally need to use them on my non-stick pans, so maybe your omelettes are a new WMD?<br /><br />As for a spudger (that's the name of the tool for electronics), you generally need something sharper/harder that the kitchen scraper. But, if you don't chew it up at the sink, maybe it can double-duty -- until you put too much cheese-crud into your cellphone. :-) <br /><br />Oh, wait, you clean it between? Didn't try that...Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066904198364843577noreply@blogger.com
