Can anyone tell me what is best to use please.
I have bought a nice mirror from Habitat and it has a stupid sticker on it. I have managed to get the paper part of the sticker off but it has left the glue behind!
What should I use to get it off, you can't even pick the glue it is so hard on the glass.
I tried my star drops, but did not touch it.
Thanks0 -
Acetone (nail varnish remover)
IPA (no not beer! Isopropyl alcohol)
Either on a cotton rag/cloth with few drops of water.
I have known some people to use deodorant spray as a last resort.0 -
a drop of white spirit perhaps?Resolution:

Good old vegetable oil works a treat:D Just a little smeared over, then rub with a dry cloth. No scratches, just lifts off.You never get a second chance to make a first impression.0

Lay wet newspaper on it and leave for 20 mins or so. The acid from the ink reacts with the glue.0
