Removing stickers from slipcovers without damaging it?

[rljnunez]

First off, Id like to apologize if this is the wrong place for this thread of if it's already been asked.. But I have noticed (mainly on Disney titles with slips) that when I try & remove the "combo pack" sticker from the slip that yes, it's pretty easy to remove, but I leave a small dent where I scratched the sticker to get it off.. Is there a method on getting these stickers off without leaving a dent..?

Well, you can peel the upper layer of the sticker off first very carefully, then use Goo Gone to remove the remaining residue off the slipcover. That's the only way, without leaving an imprint, by using a fingernail, or any other tool.

i was able to find Goo Gone at a grocery store & it works very well, just try to use it sparingly at first...

How many threads about stickers on Slipcovers do we need?

Yeah he should have searched for the others and not bothered you.

The sticker itself comes off rather easy as it's not a plain paper sticker (those I definitely use goo gone for), it's a glossy one.. They come off easily once I get it pealed, but it sucks I still leave a tiny dent... I nearly had a melt down yesterday, lol... I actually wish they wouldn't put the stickers on them or just not issue slips a t all.. It causes me too much stress, lol...

The real question is, why do you even enter a thread you have no interest in..?

Amen!!

And of course, by doing so, push it to the top of recent posts.

Some people are just sad and cranky.

Anyone else pi$$ed at Walmart's tendency to put super-sticky stickers on their slip covers? I've screwed up a slip cover for THE GATE and the HIGHLANDER 2-DISC 25th ANNIVERSARY set Lionsgate put out because of their stupid stickers (waa)!

I guess in the future I will have to try out this goo gone I keep hearing about.

Those stickers are horrible... you have my sympathies.

I had to start a new technique with Wal-Mart stickers. Don't even touch em, just soak em in Goo-Gone for a couple minutes then the top layer peels off. Wipe away excess Goo, soak again and the bottom comes off.

Trim your fingernails?

Seriously though, Goo Gone works quite well and the Citrus kind smells great.

I really like Goo Gone EXCEPT the objects I use it on then smell like Goo Gone for about 2 weeks

Well when there's a new thread almost EVERY week about stickers on Slipcovers, it gets a little irritating.

There's a Slipcover sub-forum and a thread addressed to the issue of stickers.

Irritating if you WANT to be irritated.

I did issue an apology at the beginning of my original post.. But really, if it's a thread that irritates you, I'd suggest you steer clear of it..

Actually, I would say just the opposite... Let one nail grow a little bit so it can get under the sticker corner. Nails are thin enough that it works on most stickers without using enough pressure to leave a dent. And I'm being serious.

The trick is to start at a corner and try not to even make contact with the slip, but get underneath the sticker... if that makes sense. You have to be gentle, there's an art to it but once you got it going, peel S L O W L Y.

How would one remove ones that have been on for 5 years and have really bonded well?

[Midnight Rambler]

Start one corner of the sticker by gently "lifting" it with the corner of a straight razor blade or a pointed Xacto blade knife, then carefully grab the corner of the sticker and peel it off gently using a slow but steady pulling force. Years of dissection practice helps ...
