Removing silly case stickers

[SanchoP]

I just bought a second hand Antec SOLO and it has those little Intel stickers on. What's the best way of removing these? Just grab some thinners?

Think Thinners might bleach the case... Like if its a black case, it would become grey... Maybe vinegar?

hairdryer...warm them up then just peel them off.

Use that purple alcoholic liquid thing....forgot what its called atm. Same effect less damage than thinners.

Methelated spirits?

Deoderant also works for the for the residue left by the stickers

Dilute some surgical spirits with water.

Methelated spirits?

That's the one. Couldn't think of the English name.

Also works great for removing license disks from car windscreens btw.

Use some packaging tape (the clear one) - wrap some around your hand/finger with the sticky side outwards, then press and "dab" the sticker quickly/contimuously until the tape removes the sticker portion - you may need to use some new tape a few times to remove the whole sticker, depending on the size and age of the stickiness - always works for me, and doesn't damage the case... and it's cheap!

dont use thinners man

as someone said rather use meths

OK, I'll try the ideas in ascending order of danger. Starting with my finger I suppose. Or the packaging tape. Thanks for the tips.

Spirits (meths, deodourant, etc) don't work well. Try eucalyptus oil for ANY stickiness. Works great. Then use a spirit to remove the oiliness

Nail polish remover diluted will work well too, I use it to get rid of old thermal paste.

For getting rid of any sticky glue residue, I use cooking oil, works like a charm. The oil stops the glue from sticking back to the surface.

or wd40

x2 then afterwards use thinners if there's residue.

I once tried to remove a sticky price tag from a CD jewel case which I was giving to somebody as a gift. I tried thinners and it destroyed the clear front of the jewel case!
