Did'nt seem that effective , but I may try it, but for me soaking it with water ,steaming - for the sticky stuff under the paper -wd40 ,turps, thinners -stanley blade and what worked quickly was petrol -very smelly :-)
I have come across label adhesive that will not come off using methylated spirits, never mind soapy water. Pain thinner will probably damage most surfaces- hence they make Label remover which many people are not aware of!
I'm afraid it does not work as well. One of the machines nip rollers where I work used to get regularly covered in sticky adhesive and we tried cleaning it with WD 40 and methylated spirits, neither of which worked.
When you get a really sticky label this stuff makes your job much easier!
On glass, you need nothing other than heat and a razor or stanley blade. Adhesive remover is really useful for porous or bumpy surfaces. This chap was just using the oven label as an example; there is no way hot soapy water would remove this type of glue from anything other surface than glass.
I used to work at a place that used masking to protect a product and this used to get onto the nip rollers of the machine every now and again. We tried soapy water first, then meths but that would not remove it. The label remover worked brilliantly and made my job much easier!
I use petroleum ether aka lighter fluid. I use it every time and results are perfect and I dare to say much faster. And cheaper I assume. And I use brush not scraper.
I tried WD40 on some labels and it did not work, I have also tried meths but that was not good either. I guess it depends on the formulation of the glue that is used in the first place.
I don't know if it will work on those kind of stickers,but an old trick that's used to get off security stickers,is to use a hair dryer .Or something similar to heat it up and it just peals off intact, once the adhesive is warmed up enough.No residue left if it's done properly.
I previously mentioned i had used WD40, but now that i think about it, i think i actually used vegetable oil because wd40 failed, lol. That's why i had to leave it on for a while so that it soaks in --- 20 minutes or maybe it was more, can't remember.
This purpose made spray definitely seems much better though.
Thanks for the comment. The other comment you posted was on the earlier videos that had a 4 min blank section in it and so I deleted that one and uploaded this one. The label remover spray works really well and strangely enough it smells of Oranges!
No I have not tried it, we had a problem with a machine at work and we tried WD40 and Meths, neither of which worked. Then we found out about label remover and we have used it ever since.
Well done
