The best adhesive remover known to man:

Soaks through paper labels and gets right to the adhesive. If the label is water resistant, just
lift a corner and let the fluid seep underneath. Peel back slowly as the adhesive dissolves.

Some water resistant labels can be delaminated. The plastic outer layer can be removed
with a pair of tweezers, leaving the paper behind. Soak the paper with the lighter fluid and
remove it as the adhesive dissolves.

I have removed literally thousands of labels over time and nothing works better than good
old Ronsonol.
