Question about ComicLink Sticker removal from slab 0

[thewritestuff]

Has anyone had success removing one of these labels? I am just curious if there's a way to get rid of the CLink sticker/label without scratching the slab. Thanks.

I am so angry right now. I just bought Mad issue #159 in grade 9.6 which is the highest grade by 2.6 and guess what? a price sticker was stuck to the CGC holder, so being the compulsive person I am, I pulled out the "Goo Be Gone" which for those who don't know,is a liquid that removes stickers...

 

well let me put it this way... I destroyed the holder, I started by putting some goo be gone on a paper towel and rubbing off the sticker residue, then the CGC holder started to liquefy, by the end I was squirting streams of this on the holder. Needless to say, the holder is destroyed, so I boxed it up and await Monday to send it to CGC for a reholder.

The post also said Bestine works great.

My personal advice is try bestine, but use tiny drop on edge of bottom slab to see how it reacts before going whole hog.

I have used un-du to remove ComicLink labels from slabs without any issue.  Goo Gone and un-du have the same main ingredient - Naptha (lighter fluid). Sometimes referred to as Petroleum Distalates - Hydrotreated light.  Sometimes I just use lighter fluid as it's cheaper (like for wick lighters - Zippo). But un-du has the handy little plastic scraper thing attached to the bottle just for removing labels. 

ALL should be safe to use on plastic so I'm not sure what happened to you and your slab.

I was quoting another boardie's experience-not sure how valid his claim is.

[letsgrumble]

Peel the label as much as possible using your fingernail without digging into the slab. Squirt lighter fluid onto a soft cloth/soft paper towel until it's soaked and slowly wipe away. Don't use paper that's too rough or it will scratch the slab.

I have never tried to remove a sticker.   No way i'm putting any chemical on my slabs.

Just take a big whiff of the lighter fluid first, and all will be fine.

My solution is to crack the dam book out of that there putrid slab.

I've also read a hair dryer will easily remove it with no chemicals

Have you done this before?

no and you are right to scold me-i was just going based on what other boardies said worked for them.
