Any other possible ways of removing the stickiness? (Apart from angle

Very fine emery cloth?

"Sticky stuff remover".

Ok, but I've never heard of that before. Handy to know though.

I thought everybody had heard of it, most often used to get label residue

Does it work on the worst of the labels on glass jars ?

The only thing it hasn't worked on is some particularly nasty packing tape where the plastic top of the tape prevents any chemical getting in.
