Default Is there a 'magic' solution for dissolving labels on glassware?

Just curious, as my current 'magic solution' is water - but maybe
there is a better medium for dissolving glued paper labels on
glass bottles for kitchen reuse?

My current technique:
a. Soak for a day or two in water
b. Scrape with a kitchen fork
c. Repeat until the label is gone


I've heard of using peanut butter. I use Goof-Off.


If warm water doesn't take them off, a little vegetable oil may dissolve
the residue.
