Label stuck on plastic is the target.

Suggestions?

Look over the specialty 3M chemicals at your local autobody supply
store. This is a common task for autobody techs and odds are there is
something that will work well for you.
If that is too much effort, try the 3M product web site for the
material you need, It can even be ordered online.

Coat the label with a thin layer of peanut butter (smooth not chunky).
Allow it to set for a couple hours as the paper will absorb oil from
the PB. Try it.

You've been told more than one time that paint thinner is
acceptable, WD40 is acceptable, Lighter Fluid is acceptable,
gasoline is acceptable. None of these will hurt, melt, mar,
stain, or otherwise harm your plastic case on your computer. Goo
Gon is readily available at any grocery store. What do you want
from the group, you've turned down every logical suggestion you've
been given.

I guess you could try cooking oil. Avoid nail polish remover.

Paint thinner, gasoline or lighter fluid works for me.

Let's see,,, ah yes I did say "on plastic."

All 3 come in plastic cans, so what is the problem? What type
of
plastic do you have?

MikeB

Not chemical resistant plastic.

Thanks for the troll attempt, now move along.

Special situations will require more detail on your part for a
solution
that will be acceptable- or are yo going to keep us guessing?

Just use hot water and a rag. Goo gone and goof off will ruin the plastic.
I wouldn't even try fantastik or 409.

Congrats on your 89 IQ score (low average), although you should have done
better.
I use goo-gone on computer cases without any problems . I don't soak
them in the stuff.

SOME lighter fluids, and Gasoline, will damage most styrene plastics,
including ABS.
