How to remove a glued-in shirt label
Lurfys Maw wrote: On Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:41:27 GMT, Emily Bengston Thanks for the tip. Let us know how it is after you laundry it, please. I have two that were gifts I've never worn because of those glue-in tags. I will try the Goof Off, I just purchased a bottle last week. Emily I did a quick manual wash in the sink with warm water and hand soap. After it dried off, I could not see any discoloration or any other ill effects. It did still have a very light smell of the Goof Off. I'll wash it in a few days when I have a full batch. Congratulations on finding a solution! Sounds like "Goof Off" is a good product to have on hand. Beverly |

Sounds like "Goof Off" is a good product to have on hand. I couldn't survive without it. At the risk of further annoying Mary, I also do not like the stickly residue that many price stickers leave on stuff. Goof Off gets it right off. You do have to be a bit careful. It will melt the typs of plastic that is used for CD cases and the like and sadly they are virtually covered in stickers. There are a number of similar products, such as Goo Gone, Ooops, and Gunk (although that one may be more for grease and oil). Simple Green is also pretty good and safer for most plastics. |

At the risk of further annoying Mary, LOL! It would take a lot more than that to annoy me :-) I also do not like the stickly residue that many price stickers leave on stuff. I can't think of an instance when I'd want to do remove a price sticker - not that there are many in these days of bar codes and most stickers are peelable anyway, aren't they? Life's too short.

Rather than live with the Minnie Pearl look, I remove stickers from the hard-surfaced items to which they are affixed. Drinkware, lamp bodies, picture frames and mirrors to name just a few. Goo Gone. One of my favorite thrifts writes prices using a grease pencil. Again, Goo Gone. HTH --Karen D. |

GOO products also good for when you might want to sew through
some sticky (eg, duct tape) or gluey like substances. Put some on the needle and it keeps the goo... well, off the needle Somebody else here in Alt.sew suggested that sorry can't remeber who robb "Lurfys Maw" wrote in message ...
