sticker glue remover, solved
sesame seed oil. yup i shizz you not, it works great
i have tried all sorts of stuff including branded sticky stuff remover, isopropyl, petrol, paraffin, you name it i have tried it. just removed some sticker glue from a plastic spray bottle i wanted to use and i dont know why my brain said sesame seed oil but it did so me being me thought what the hell. poured some on a cloth and went to work. fekin superb, it glides and removes at the same time and is super quick unlike everything else i have tried which just makes the cloth stick and create a globby mess. |

Re: sticker glue remover, solved
Did you try WD40, it is pants as a lubricant and does go like a sticky film if you leave it to dry, but as a solvent for sticky stuff of all descriptions, dead flies off paint etc it is unsurpassed.
In fact it is such a good solvent that it will effectively dissolve any lubricant out of whatever you spray it on and replace it with something that is as far from a lubricant as you can get. http://www.inspire21.com/stories/hel...s/UsesforWD-40 http://www.tutorialgeek.net/2011/01/...glue-with.html http://www.lifehacker.co.uk/2014/06/...ful-uses-wd-40

If that's what it can do, what does it do to your insides when you eat it

Re: sticker glue remover, solved
Yeh I wish they would sell that glue they use on domestic bottles stickers.Sticks better than virtually anything else :O
Taking on-board what you posted I've just tried some cooking oil.Same affect.Takes off the glue easy.Been looking for something like this for ages so big thanks I tried all the stuff you had posted before the oil.I keep those spray bottles.I use one with a few squirts of Washing up liquid in it as a pre-soak for pots/pans and plates when I'm cooking.Makes cleaning them easy and saves loads on washing up liquid.I also use another of the same as a cheap none aggressive bike cleaner

Re: sticker glue remover, solved
I'd advise against soaking your bike with a solution like that for a long time, dishwashing liquids tend to have a large amount of salt in them and probably use charged surfactants that can behave as salts.

Re: sticker glue remover, solved
I discovered years ago that the best way of removing tar from car paintwork is to use butter on a cloth. Same idea as sesame oil but cheaper.
