How to Remove Really Stubborn Sticker Residue - DIY Tips!

Written By Gosforth Handyman on Saturday, Oct 21, 2017 | 03:00 AM

 
Today I'm talking about how to remove sticker residue using Acetone and White Spirits / Mineral Spirits. Please note that these chemicals are dangerous - especially acetone. Be VERY CAREFUL especially on PLASTIC as acetone can dissolve the plastic. This is a LAST RESORT when everything else you've tried won't get the sticky off - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! You know when you buy something with a RIDICULOUS sticker on that you just can't get off? Well, that. In fact I've told you the tip now so you don't need to bother watching the video - use acetone then white spirits. There. Don't come moaning on in the comments that it took me 8 minutes and 5 seconds to get to the point. I'm also rambling on about the death of my Wera screwdriver - it cost 33 quid! Not Impressed. I'm gonna write a bad review... Only joking, but I'm also having a bit of a rant about bad reviews and why they're not always a good thing.
