Title: stubborn sticker
Post by: mrs.mayne on March 29, 2011, 05:19:53 pm

Hi people,
Am desperatly hoping someone can help me! One of the offices I clean have a no smoking sticker on the outside of their glass door which they want removed. I cannot get it off!  Furthest I have got with it is a wee tiny strip. Any suggestions?

What material is it ? If its vinyl then warm it up with a hair drier or hot air gun which will let you peel it off then the glue residue will come off with white spirit or pog. If its paper the soak it with pog allow to dwell, scrape it off and clean the residue with pog. Ambersil do a citrus label remover which is also very good but only on porous stickers.
