Removing the auction sticker
<< < (3/4) > >>
MYX:
I actually called Super Auctions and asked why they used such sucky stickers that were so hard to get off and would rip appart so easily. They said that is was because people would swap stickers on cabinets to get a better cab than the one that they purchased. So they had to start using a tamper evident sticker. It really sux as those things are realllly hard to get off. I use a little bottle of Jiffy Corp. Goo and Gunk remover. Ut us a little bottle that has an aplicator. You turn the bottle upside down and then it spreads it across your sticker. You have to let it sit for a little while but the sticker comes off pretty well. Then you have to get a piece of cloth and put a few drops of the stuff on it and wipe off the sticky crap that is left behind. Paper towels just make a mess. This works well on plastic marquees BTW.

It's true it's next to impossible to use on a vertical surface. You'll have to either remove the marquee, or tilt your machine on its back.

That's one of those solutions that's so obvious it hurts that I didn't think of it.

I transported it on it's back, so I know it doesn't hurt it, I just didn't even think of laying it down to apply Goo Gone.

I'm glad they use those stickers, I got there extra early the next day to pick it up.  I was afraid someone was going to do swap stickers, because there was an Off Road next to mine that was missing it's pedal and had a messed up steering wheel.  It sold for 100 bucks more than mine, so I assumed they thought they were bidding on the one I bought.

WD-40 works great!

Maybe not with super tamper evident stickers, but with stickers and tape residue on a non absorbant surface (like a marquee) I've had a lot of luck with olive oil.  Sounds weird, but it soaks in and makes it peel off easy.  Then soap and water cleans up the olive oil residue.
