Certainly less potentially damaging/smelly/finicky unless you have a hairdryer that is hot enough to melt stuff. | Tony (4941) | ||

If you don't have a hairdryer then De-sol-it works well and smells nice. |

| 1158595 | 2010-12-10 22:56:00 | Thanks for all the advice folks. I have tried both meths and De-Solv-It. Found De-Solv-It to be the best. Meths didn't work at all on one Warehouse label. It just smeared the glue. |
