| Post subject: | removing old stickers |
I've removed all but one sticker from the body and glass of my truck. I bought some of that old sticker remover solvent stuff, but it only works on the glue that's left behind after first removing the sticker. The one that's left is so old and cracked that I can't grab hold of any part of it to start it peeling. I'm afraid to use a razor blade for fear of digging into the paint. Any ideas? |

If the sticker is vinyl, you can heat it with a hair dryer and scrape it off with a piece of wood or plastic that's softer than the paint. |

yeah, I thought about a blow dryer. It's one of those square State Farm Insurance stickers. It's really thin and I'm not sure if it's vinyl or not. I'll give it a shot. |

If it's on glass - a little carb cleaner works great... be careful, it will also remove paint and jack up rubber... |

Spread some peanut butter on it and let it sit for a couple of hours. Have been told this is one of the best methods for sticker removal. |

If you use the hair dryer, be sure to keep it moveing. If you leave it in the same spot to long it will bake the paint... |
