Builders clean/ sticky labels
« on: August 05, 2007, 10:00:52 am »
Doing a w.c. builders clean for the first time next week. A brand new build DIY store.  Managed to avoid previous ones as not sure how to go about it.  There is going to be a problem with a few bits of cement and I now know how to approach that thru postings on a previous post.
How do I remove the "goo" that is left from stickers on the glass?
Are there any other problems that I will possibly meet ?
Thanks.

S.A.J

Hi there David I have not tried this but I have heard that oil flo 141 will shift the sticky residue left behind.

Like I said I’ve only heard about this.

Go to Focus and buy a bottle of sticky stuff remover £4.85 a bottle.
this stuff works a treat, I have just done 3 small town houses today (sunday) I run out of my usual stuff and needed to remove the sticky stuff from the film sheet they had on the windows, went into focus and found this bottle of sticky stuff remover, apply to cloth and rub off.

Some labels are water based and only need water to remove, but go prepared.

A bottle of 100% solvent also does the trick...with the added bonus of getting high as you use it!

Hi Stew pot   ;D
Hey I might be a bugger but 941 is not that old, 8)  do your history and you will see I was born during the battle of hastings in 1066  ;D ;D
