Any tips on removing sticker from laptop ?

[bilabonic]

Hi

Got given a Acer lappy with has a full size sticker on the top case. It has been removed at the corners but will not 'peel' just comes of in tiny bits...

Is there a way to remove these ??

Cheers

WD40 worked well for me but only with the sticky residue, the actual labels peeled off ok.

Acetone may rot the plastic of the case - especially if it's ABS or other styrene based plastic.

I'd go with the isopropyl alcohol, the worst that will do is remove any printed finish on the case.

try a hairdryer on a low heat setting.

Wd40 I always use that for stuff like that

Another vote for WD40, I would be wary of using any acetone based product.

Also as somebody else mentioned try warming with a hairdryer first.

Erase sticker glue from hard surfaces like plastic and wood by gently rubbing the eraser from a pencil over the glue. The rubber from the eraser will bond with the glue, creating a much less sticky surface you can easily scrape off with a plastic scraping tool.

Use a hair dryer set on low to warm stubborn sticker glue and then scrape it away with a plastic scraping tool.

3


Wet a washcloth with warm, soapy water and gently scrub at the sticker glue on the surface. Soap and water will help break the bond in the glue, making it easier for you to wipe or scrape clean.

4


Saturate a cotton ball with Isopropyl alcohol and rub it over the sticky adhesive to dissolve and break up the glue. Once the glue starts to break up, you can either wash the surface with a warm, soapy wash cloth or scrape the glue away with a plastic scraping tool.

5


Dissolve stubborn glue by rolling the tip of a cotton swab soaked in acetone nail polish remover over sticker adhesive. Acetone breaks down glue, making it easier to clean it away. It may not be safe for some plastic surfaces, so be sure you test an unseen area with a few swabs of acetone before using.

I wouldn't put acetone on plastic!

Surgical spirit or isopropyl.
