Well, this is just some useful information for you guys, if you haven't already figured it out before me. :D

The other day my dad and sister got some really cool acryllic (sp?) dishes for the summer that we can take out by the pool without worrying about breaking them. Anyhoo, you know the barcode!? Well, since its on the bottom of them, you wanna peel it off. But when we went to take it off, we were left with all this glue...and paper gunk. So we called Stokes (dish pace) and asked them what we can use to take it off. They told us to use a bit of lighter fluid on a cloth, and rub it off. then just wash the dishes.
WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Now we can use the dishes and not have to have our fingers all sticky with paper gunk. :) Hope you can use it.
Have a great night, I'm off to be the worker bee that I am. :lol:

Warm water usually works well, too. :) I'm surprised they didn't reccommend that first.

Rubbing alcohol and Shout Pre-wash are also supposed to work well.

Clean and Clear takes off everything. Me and Edgarhead once used it to take magic marker off of a table.

(PS. Olive or vegetable oil works great on the sticky stuff as well...just thought I'd add that.) :D

you can also buy this stuff that works GREAT - It's called Goo Gone.
I had to peel my cutting mat off my drafting table, and it had been on there for a good 4 years with super sticky 2 face tape, and this stuff was really good, I thinks it's lemon scented lighter fluid though! ;)
