Help removing sticker residue
« on: August 08, 2010, 07:20:46 PM »
So I took out my Batman Black and White statues I bought at the Joe con and there were price stickers on the bases. I slowly peeled them off pretty successfully but one left the base with that sticky residue. Does anyone have any good tips on how to remove this without damaging the base?

Goo Gone is OlYeller approved.  It'll remove stocker residue like nobodys business without harming delicate plastic.  It's what I use when restickering vintage vehicles for my reviews   ;D

1000% agree.

Looking at a bottle right now. It says:

"RONSONOL
LIGHTER FUEL
Also excellent for removing grease, Oil Stains, Tar & Labels"

I use it all the time on thermal printers when I'm cleaning the paper path, thus I have about 6 bottles at work.
