Getting the sticker off Boge Cartos

[Fazed]

I have several Boge carts that have the black sticker on them. I want to remove them so I can use them in my liquinator. I peeled one and now there is this sticky residue all over it. Any suggestions?

PGA, alcohol, vodka

In my experience alcohol won't clean the glue off very well, the only thing I found was goof-off and it does dissolves the glue. Acetone may work but I haven't tried it. That glue is tough stuff.

I leave the mouthpiece on and use a glue remover (wal-mart in the paint department). Put it on a towel first and then start rubbing. Becareful to not get it on the mouthpiece or on the threads. vaping it could be dangerous. After the glue is off, take a clean rag and some rubbing alcohol, pga, or vodka and wipe it off really well.

As you peel the wrapper off, lay it back down and re- peel it. Basically use the sticker youre removing to pull off any of the sticky residue. I've been doing this for weeks now... can get the whole wrapper off in under a minute including the left over residue.

While more complex...and requires tools, here is PBusardo's technique:

I heard if you stick in the freezer over night that it would help loosen the sticker off.

take a paper towel with a spot of vegetable cooking oil on it and the glue will rub off

It makes it a little easier but not much, and your still stuck with the glue to get off, some carto's are easier than others, but the ones I have used are tough to get the glue off. The only thing that has worked for me is Goof-Of or acetone or paint thinner, on a paper towel, and it rubs off well.

I like this, no chemicals that are harmful

Thanks for all the replies and ideas. I took 10 of them off today, 6 were easy, nice slow removal, no residue. 2 had a little bit of residue left that I got off with some everclear. 3 of them were horrible and used WD40 on a paper towel, followed by everclear, and a really good wipe down. My only concern is a chemical residue left over even after thoroughly cleaning with everclear and a dry towel.

I agree I like the vegetable oil, especially when someone is using the carto in a tank!!

I discovered the vegetable oil trick back when i was messing with antiques and needed to get old stickers off items and not ruin the finish. It doesn't just immediately dissolve off, but glue residue will come off with light rubbing. I was pleased to find out it also worked with carto stickers.

I always use olive oil to remove glue residues on different product. Works like a charm, doesn't make scratches or tarnish the product (in case of plastics).

I used a vinegar soak and it seemed to soften the glue .
