With the hairdryer, don't you have worry about the heat ruining your slip??

Maybe hardware or household cleaners. Never bought it before, so that's my guess.

My slip of Iron Man will forever be a little sticky thanks to crappy stickers. The spray is interesting, but I dunno, I don't want even more stuff being put on my box.

Which at the end of the day, that's all it is. I'm only reminded for about 10 seconds taking the disc out and putting it back.

Good luck trying to drive that car without killing yourself. Can't imagine what kind of moron would do that.

It's obviously just for promotional use. No headlights, and flat tires.

I wonder how many cans of goo gone you would need for that?

The car catches peoples eye, and makes them want to go inside and order fish tacos.

Yep, thought about that and I still think that it's ridiculous.

I agree.

If anything, that car would keep me away from that restaurant.....I like my restaurants neat and clean just like I like my blu-rays. I only keep slipcovers that have different art then the blu-ray case art. I need to count em someday but I am pretty sure I have less than 10 slipcovers out of ~543 blu-rays.....that stickered up car is nasty.

poke smot · 10-23-2011, 06:12 PM

yep...i cant stand stickers. i use a hair dryer sometimes...other times i gently wipe w/alcohol on a cloth.

tigertron · 10-23-2011, 08:27 PM

I ruined my POTC:COTBP cardboard sleeve trying to get a sticker off, it was so annoying...

I wanted to post something I use at home for any adhesive removing that needs to be done, what is funny is that its actually an air freshener and I only recently learned this as I never read the label, I just used it. Some guy at a store I shop at recommended this stuff to me one day when I was looking for an adhesive remover. This stuff works incredibly well for taking off adhesives! I have never tried using it as an air freshner, only adhesive removal. A tiny bit goes a long ways! I bought the can I have now like 3 years ago and it still feels full.

hidef al · 10-24-2011, 02:10 AM

To the members that use rubbing alcohol and lighter fluid. How do apply both substance on a slip?? Do you just use a dab?? I want to try both methods and compare it to Goo Gone.

kemcha · 10-24-2011, 02:35 PM

Always remember, stores are not the ones who place those price stickers on their Blu-rays, it's their distribution centers. Also, stores are not in the "collectors market" side of the economy. Some states, by law, are required to price certain products or provide the customer the ability to scan something to get the price.

Stores exist to sell their merchandise and to sell as much as they can. By "pricing" the merchandise, it helps move their merchandise quicker. I've never had a problem with it because I don't generally keep the outer slipcases or boxes. Never saw much collectability behind it, as I've always stated. It's merely a useless thing and these studios could be doing everybody a favor by not cutting down a tree just to give everybody a useless outer sleeve or box.

Wow!! Thanks for killing the thread kemcha

I just dip the Q-tip into the alcohol bottle and dab it onto the sticker until it's completely moist. I wait about a minute and then the sticker just peels off without a fight.

Cool! Thanks Donat!! I have a few slipcovers that have the price stickers still on the slip. I will give it a try. I hope I don't ruin any
