Problems with security sticker residue, etc. on BD cases - Blu-ray Forum

jedisinclair · 02-13-2007, 05:24 PM

OK... I hate the little stickers they put all over the cases... I got one today that had real sticky stickers that, even when I removed them, left a sticky residue all over the case... how can I clean this off without damaging the case?

as for the security stickers, i use a knife to split it where the case opens and closes. once i open it, the seal is obviously broken and it is real easy to peel off.

i personally use my gerber airframe (like swatting a fly with a bazooka) but it works great. im sure a paring, steak knife, or razor blade would do just as well.

Use a hair dryer and heat glue and remove and use windex to remove

Ya I put a little hole in my SWAT BD insert trying to take the stickers off.

Perhaps grabbing one of these to open up the jewel box:

As for the sticky residue, WD40 and about a 5 minute wait should be enough break down the gum for an easy clean up.

The citrus goo removers work ok for goo removal.

I seem to have a talent for ripping off the 'asset management' tags though.

The ones with silver are not as bad as those ones with the spirals of metal that are like 1.5 inches square

If you have a girlfriend or female roomate or spouse, etc., nail polish remover works really well.

Thanks for the tip...that sticker residue had me all pissed off!!! I removed all the inserts before wiping the case off. The residue is gone and now I can sleep better. why do we need all those sticker on the side and the bottom anyway...those are the real culprits!!!

Just a little aside...was anyone initially put off by how small the BD cases were? I was for whatever reason, but now I love the little guys so much I wouldn't have it any other way...and yes I love speaking affectionately about my BD's!!!

Come on, guys! Yes, nail polish remover works great at removing to goo. Which is more important: A clean case, or a momentary loss of your masculinity when you buy some nail polish remover at the store??? lol!!!

Go Blu · 10-16-2007, 06:29 PM

Yup GOO GONE works perfectly.

Or basically anything with Alcohol in it.

+1 to Goo Gone. Works like a charm for sticker glue.

I was talking about the black magnetic tabs that when you peel off leave a mirror silver like stripe still attached with superwelded glue, then to take that off sometimes a nail starts to separate. I shoud sue a la MacDonalds!

I usually don't have an issue with those. Probably because since it's hot where I live the glue has a chance to melt a little on the way home.
