Hi all,
OK, so here I am sitting at my computer with a stack of 100 or so disks
to reformat. Unfortunately most of said disks have been labelled using
felt-tip pen. And the labels are the nasty kind that don't come off without
a fight. Sooo... Has anyone got a method that will get these stupid things
off without leaving a gummy, sticky residue or damaging my disks? I've tried
WD40 (didn't work at all), 3-in-1 oil (don't ask), an upside down airblaster
(freeze spray for half the price) and a few other things and nothing works!
Anyone want to share their secret?
Sheesh, I have trouble getting them to stay on! There's nothing worse than opening
a big box of old disks and having all the labels laying in the bottom of the box! You
might try Goo-Gone or one of the other solvents made from orange oil.
