muddyplugger Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Zoff. Its what we use in the medical world for removing the remains of strapping, adhesive bandages etc. Great for removing sticky residue on cars too! PM me your details and I'll shove a few in the post. (samples like! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 White spirit works Bit of t-cut might help too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I always use methylated spirits for anything like this, either cleaning paintwork before sticker application or getting the gunge off afterwards. A brand new Stanley knife blade is good, you can buy little scraper things that fit one of these blades in and hold it at the right angle. I've just finished "stickering" a double decker Routemaster bus at work I find one of the little hand-held plant sprayers of the sort you can buy from a garden centre is ideal for applying the meths.

Mark90 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I use a hot air gun to get the stickers off and then meths or white spirit to clean the residue off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Go to a builders merchant and get Evo stick Glue remover. Jewsons I get mine from its not cheap at about £7 for 200ml but it will get any sticker glue off paint work. it evaporates very quick so don't leave the lid off too long or you will run out very quick. Don't get it on any Vinyl as it leave white marks/cloudy stain which will not come off. Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02GF74 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I've used paraffin, white spiirit/turpetine or petrol (check the base suface is not affected first). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Raider Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 if you use a hairdryer to remove the said sticker the stickiness comes off with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 if you use a hairdryer to remove the said sticker the stickiness comes off with it. don't you mean "if you use Rob, Mark and Mike to remove the said sticker(s), the stickiness comes off with it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Use the glue remover in a very open area or you will get high as a kite followed by the worst headache known to man. I have found it far quicker and more effective than petrol on glue. it is meant for floor glues which are evil glues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 In a similar vein - I have taken a couple of the rubbing strips off the Rangie and will need to re-apply them. Anyone got any good products that will stick them back on as firmly as they were originally? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonfire Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I have found at work that brake cleaner works OK, and Carburettor cleaner is even better, it works on 2nd hand tractors that have had stickers fitted for 10 yrs (not always 1st time though!)

BogMonster Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Taking some ratty old LRE stickers off are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjojjas Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I couldn't get it of with plaster remover, nail varnish remover, acetone, etc in the end I used auto glym tar remover. Took a while but once off I cut it back with something called G3 I think it was called. Looks cool without the late 80's fashion stripes down the side!
