I have had good luck using a hair dryer to heat up the label enough to make
the adhesive gummy again. Not sure how "young" the label needs to be for
this to work.

Subject: [maybe OT]: Removing pesky floppy disk labels
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?
Thanks.
