Sticky Label remover??

[BaDaBooM]

Anybody know good way to remove labels from bottles ?? I ordered some label remover from ebay but it isn't cheap. Anybody have a good home remedy that does the job?

Ive tried wd40 but it only works on smooth plastic and glass for some reason.

Try rubbing alcohol or a little paint thinner. Be sure to wash thoroughly. Good luck!

What kind of bottles? Surprisingly, sitting in hot tap water for a few minutes seems to work for me. I've tried all the other methods, but this works for me.

Tried in boiling hot water, label comes of easy but not the glue. Just tried nail varnish remover it works but still a pain. I got like 30 bottle to do.... sad face

Zippo fluid costs more than label remover.

it only takes a tiny bit ... one bottle would remove 100s and 100s of labels

The biggest mistake here is storing e-juice in those types of bottles...

Why is that??

Try ammonia. Put some in hot water and soak for a bit.

Very cheap remedy - acetone. It can be purchased at any hardware store and is the same ingredient in nail polish remover (as long as you don't buy the stuff without acetone).

Mayonnaise works. Rub a good coating on the label and let it sit for a while. It should peel off cleanly. WD-40 also does the trick for me. Good luck!

Yup, lighter fluid (yellow/blue bottle) works every time and evaporates with no residue.

Depending on the type of plastic, it can degrade with the e-juice, leach BPA, impart funky taste and can turn the nic dark when exposed to light.

Use a hair dryer. Works every time. I use all glass, so I went out and splurged on a $12 heat gun from Harbor Freight.

I found this tip in a Family Handyman magazine. The heat melts the glue under the label just enough the get a fingernail under the edge. Then peel off slowely and reapply heat as needed.

Was reading about it just now here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ssion/296537-plastic-bottles-e-liquid-11.html

Only thing is that glass bottles have a plastic cap and dripper....

 

[stevegmu]

Not all glass bottles have plastic drippers. Short of storing them upside down, a plastic top shouldn't be an issue.
I tried a juice from a vendor once, didn't really like it and set it aside. Found it months later and the plastic bottle seemed to have melted a little.

Like Stevegmu says, unless you're storing them upside down, the plastic/rubber top should have little to no exposure to the plastic/rubber.

try lacquer thinner. that will take it off for sure. I did it to a sticker that was on one of my ego batteries and it took it right off and made it very shiny as well.

Rubbing alcohol works for me, as mentioned above rinse well with hot water
