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?

(Sorry if this comes up as a repost. My computer was acting goofy and
I wasn't sure if my previous attempts went through, so Iam posting
from a different computer)

Yeah...I use a razorblade with a holder to take off stickers. Havn't
scratched anything yet...works great on glass...

You're talking about glass, right? Nail polish remover. Make
sure you don't get it on other surfaces, for obvious reasons.

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.

I need to remove the stickers ...

Ralph's grocery stores (and perhaps others) in Southern
California sell a cleaning liquid (in the household cleaning
supplies section) brand named "Di-solv-it" (I might be
slightly off on the spelling) that has worked for me on lots
of similar situations. Spray a bit on, let it stand for
20-30 seconds (that is important), and then wipe it off.
Sometimes a second application is required to get all of the
dissolved adhesive. If you start rubbing right away,
without waiting 20-30 seconds for the fluid to soak into the
adhesive, you will be disappointed.

Use a 5" angle grinder. Be careful not to scratch anything.

About time someone mentioned the old WD. Peel the label. Soak
what's left. Scrub the oil soaked remnant with finger nails, or
nylon scrubby pad.

If this leaves gummy stuff, use orange cleaner for that. Not sure
every brand is as good as another, at least after 8 years.

Glass?

I would suggest first trying to heat it carefully using a hair dryer on
low heat and heating a large area. Most tags will come off with ease after
heating.

We used to use rubber cement thinner (or its main ingredient Naptha).

Now we use a heat gun.

lighter fluid doesn't require soaking or scrubbing. Squirt, wipe off,
done.

GOO GONE is the product that takes this glue off. I found it in the hardware
store.

WD-40. Let it soak for a minute or two and it will slide off like a
wet stamp. WD-40 is something that is always useful to have around
the house. Lighter-fluid, naptha, acetone, etc. is something you have
to buy for just your one job. I wouldn't have any of these highly
infammable fluids around the house. They also don't store well - will
evaporate with time.
