Not with De-Solv-It you don't. You just apply it to the label :)

Works a treat.

Wow !

I'll have to try it !

The eraser idea sounds good

We'll have to add these ideas to the old granny helpful hints that they do. A sort of 21st century update!

Agreed - in fact I'm surprised at the number of people who seem unaware of this method, which I have used for years on all sorts of things. I use an old hairdryer (carefully), and wrongly assumed everybody did the same.
