Major problem that some of you must have found an answer to over
the years.

We have just bought three new light fittings which all have 12
stems for 12
bulbs. Every stem has 2 labels on them stating bulb size and
warning it will
get hot.

All very useful information I am sure - but how the hell do you get
these
things off. They peel off no problem but leave behind the glue. The
fitting
is chrome plated.

So far we have tried Nail varnish remover, flash and sugar soap all
with
limited success.

Any ideas please???

Dab off with sticky tape

Lighter fluid - (the sort used in old fashioned cigarette lighters
that you top up with liquid and sold in a little yellow can with a
spout that seals) is absolutely brilliant for removing sticky labels

I've used insect/fly spray in the past.
