After seeing it suggested in several videos, I tried cooking oil on the stickiest wine bottle label in history. Oil was Little to no help at all on this stubborn mess of a bottle. Then I tried your recipe with the sodium bicarb + the 10, 15, 20 minutes of patience and POOF! JUST LIKE MAGIC!! It just pretty much wiped right off. You rescued me on this in a major way. This color glass was uniquely suited to make just a present for my wife who was seriously bummed out after having ankle surgery early this morning. Thank you soooooo much!!

@robertbernstein4488 5 жыл бұрын

Your readers have already mentioned rubbing alcohol and Goo Gone, both work very well too. Also before the actual label is removed, fill the jar with boiling water, put lid on to prevent burns, leave it for about 30 seconds and peel the label off slowly, usually the glue comes along with the label. This works well for pill bottles as well if you want to reuse them. On occasion the glue does not come off totally and you can use the rubbing alcohol or Goo Gone to finish the job !

I use a heat gun to warm the labels of the pill bottles so that I can reuse them for storing LEDs and other small electronic components. It's pretty quick, but you need to be careful since it can get warm enough to melt the plastic. It's going to depend upon what sort of glue was used on the label for jar though. Some will come off with heat, but others might require mechanical action. Often on glass jars, I just put the label under running water and shave / scrape off the paper with a knife. If there is anything left afterwards, I might use a dash of paint thinner or turpentine on a paper towel to clean it up.

I just tried this method and it worked. During that 10-min wait, I decided to try using just Crisco on one bottle, and Crisco with baking soda on another bottle. Crisco by itself worked as well but better with the baking soda. It looks to me the combination of baking soda and some kind of fat will do. Thank you for sharing this video.

@H1delta 6 жыл бұрын

WD is oily, smelly, and difficult to wash off anything, especially your hands. The smell will remain on your hands for a long time. Use acetone instead. Pour acetone on a rag and wipe off the sticky glue from the labels. A stone evaporates quickly so pour a lot on the rag before using. Acetone is easier to wash off your hands.
