I need to remove the stickers from the face of a display cabinet I
bought. When I pel it, it tears and leaves the adhesive on the
cabinet.

Anyone know of a safe way to remove this?

Dab of vegetable oil using finger tip, let soak the paper and wipe
off.


I've found that lighter fluid (like Ronson or Zippo), works very well
in removing the gum/paper left over when peeling off items from wood,
glass and plastic.

Neither my wife or I are smokers but we always keep a bottle of it
handy for just that purpose.

*Whatever* you do, DON'T use Goof-off. That stuff *stinks* and no
matter how hard you try, you have a devil of a time getting rid of
the small.

Lighter fluid has a mild odor that dissipates almost immediately.



charcoal grill lighter fluid also works.
Good as an automotive bug and tar remover,too.
