The reason one solvent doesn't work all the time is there are so
many "glues" used to attach labels.
I understand.
You might not notice but I don't believe anyone who says any one solve works
all the time, because it's just not going to happen.
You'll notice that I take pains to say that the gasoline works "most" of the
time, and "more" so than the other solvents that I have tried (with acetone
coming in second to gasoline but a distant second at that).
Also, I didn't realize you guys actually put the solvent *on* the label,
which I never do.
I remove the labels first, and only *after* the label is gone, do I use the
solvent to try to get rid of the goop.
So some of us (e.g., peanut oil Oren!
) are attacking different problems.
Because of the evaporation rate of MOST of these solvents, using it
ON the label makes a lot of sense because it keeps the solvent in
contact with the glue longer before it evaporates. Try it.
