1158581 2010-12-04 02:47:00 Just got a few CD's from CD Wow (http://www.cdwow.co.nz/) recently. Took only a few days to get the CD's to my post box, took another few days to get the wrapping off :).

By far cheapest way I've found to get the CD's I want though, beats paying GST as well.

The sticky on the sellotape will stick better to the sticky of the sticker than the plastic of the case.
You need to repeatedly dab the sticky side of the sellotape to the sticker.

Agreed - we use it on spec lenses as one of the safe all-round solvents that work without causing damage... and clears the nose at the same time.:waughh:

Meths is also good, but will ruin some plastics, and struggles with some adhesives.

Acetone is TROUBLE - it's great on lots of solvents, glues, paints, inks, but will instantly ruin the polycarbonate on DVDs/CDs
