Problems with security sticker residue, etc. on BD cases

[Josh]

There is stuff called "Goo Gone" that works well, but if you have WD-40, that will work great too... it will just leave a oily mess you have to clean up afterwards (make sure you remove the sleeve before trying this).

You can also use a very adhesive piece of tape. Stick the tape where the residue is, and then pull it off fast. Keep doing this (it may take a while) until all the residue is gone.

Thanks and where do you get this goo gone and how much is it?

[Aaron]

You can buy Goo Gone at any Wal-mart for under 5$

I just use clear tape. Stick it on and off a few times and it worked wonders for me.

3M adhesive remover. works well on dvd's or blu-ray cases. I always take the cover out first so it doesn't get on the paper.

Today I got a few BD titles in. I opened one title (Donnie Brasco), it had 3 of those 'security seals'.

When I got rid of those seals, 2 of them went good. But the last one, on the bottom of the disc, it left some of it's sticky stuff on the BD disc. And that is annoying as hell.

Do you guys also have this problem with new BD cases?
And how can you get that sticky stuff off of it?

I'd say about 20% of my blu-ray cases are stuck together. So yes I've had the same problem, but obviously I never did anything about it.

[MatrixS2000]

Use a product called "Goo Gone" - it will remove the leftover glue.

I hate when that happens. I now just cut the seals with a razorblade. You can try a little rubbing alcohol to remove the glue. Just remember to remove the inserts and disc so that they are not damaged.

I swear some of these companies must be working in factories with 150* temperatures. The stickers are practically melting to the cases. It sucks. Some of mine are great, but other times (Deja VU), it's horrible!

3M has an adhesive remover that works well. Jsut make sure to remove the insert and blu-ray first. I think there is a thread on this for dvds/blu-ray somewhere as this has been asked many times.

Yes ther is:

WD40 also. Don't worry I asked the same question.

[shock_terminal]

I just use the seal that I pealed off to remove it.
If you stick and pull it off the problem areas repeatedly it comes right off.

Haha, thats my method too.

I re-apply it over the residue and then quickly tear it off...as if I was performing a wax job like in 40 y.o. virgin. It always works! but sometimes it takes 5 or 6 re-apply/tear off's.

For a long time now the only time I had this problem with dvd is if it was a really old dvd. But I've had this problem with about half of my bds. Something is fubar.

FUBAR is German, right? (<---- dont answer, retorical question)

I will try that wax thingy, and hope it works.

The wax thing worked, thanks guys.

Sorry guys, but I just have to vent. I am so sick and tired of these annoying security labels they put over each side of the BD case.

I just opened Apocalypto, and this case had 3 of those sticky suckers. When peeling/pulling them off, they left an enormous amount of sticky residue on the plastic cover that was a ***** to get off.

With trial and error I have found that using normal scotch tape is the best way to get it off. Thus take a strip of scotch tape, put it over the sticky residue, and yank it off. Obviously you will have to do this several times ... (In my case like a hundred times) ... but at least it will get it off nice and clean. Don't mess with nailpolish remover etc. etc. because it will only make things worse.

Nonetheless, I am so tired of this crap and I honestly don't see the use in it. I don't think anyone with the intention of steeling is actually going to peel off the plastic. If anything, they would probably slice it open with a knife.

So why put those damn things on it in the first place? ARRGHHHHH .... This is one of the few things that really pushes my buttons!

[jermwhl]

Yup, hate 'em too! I noticed the new ones have a small cut in them, so you can't get them off in one swipe unless your real careful. I don't mind the stickers themselves, as I hate how sticky they are!
