Taking stickers off

Post by comrade »

Hi Folks,

I would like to relocate the stickers on the front panel and place them on the frame under the drip tray. Has anyone done this without scratching up the panel. If so I would love to here how.

Cheers

Done that exactly.
I removed the panel, warmed it up to loosen the glue (I used steam actually) and then manually, very carefully (if you want to relocate them) pull them up. I stuck them back on the interior side of the front panel.
Good luck.

Ok thanks. Removed the stickers but the glue remains. Used a fair bit of elbow grease with hot water and a rag with no luck. Any more suggestions?

Thanks

As a cheap home remedy, rub with butter or try finger nail polish remover. For a store bought remedy, try "Goof Off" in the hardware store's paint isle.

Get yourself a bottle of "Goo Gone" from the local drug store or Target, WalMart, SavOn. It does an amazing job or removing glue and stickers and is an orange based product.
