I finally figured it out...

So it took me a few years, but I finally figured out the 100% sure and easy way to remove that sticky thing on top of a new CD.

1. Unhinge the CD case

2. Take the CD out

3. Take a hot hair dryer and stick it up close to that damn sticky thing for about 10 seconds until you see it getting kind of melty.

4. Peel off the f@#!!@ sticky thing...no problem

5. Put your CD back in the hinge the case together

....this really works great and is easy to do. I bought all the new RVGs today and did them all in just a few minutes and was glad to have nice, clean cases from a Blue Note product for the first time in years.

Not certain, but I bet the ones that are a pain in the ass and leave glue residue all over the jewel case are ones that have been sitting on the shelf for a long time. Newer ones peel off for me, no problem.

Or maybe it's a matter of the temperature they were stored at during shipment/on shelves, since a hair dryer is helping.

Hey SS................ever tried a little lighter fluid on a paper towel or rag?????

Try it.....you'll like it! :g:g

Of course, remove the sticky thing first. Clean up the residue per above.

The worst are the stickers Sony puts on the front of jewel cases. I can get them off, if I'm very careful. But sometimes the old ones rip and are a bitch to remove. HATE those things.

The plastic strips on the top I never have any trouble getting off. I just slice 'em with a razor. The peel off real nice after that.

Yeah, I have tried that. But I think this method is really a lot easier, more effective and cleaner overall since it's less of a hassle to avoid the mess in the first place than clean it up after the fact imho. Actually just takes seconds since most people have a hair dryer already plugged in and ready to go in the bathroom. I've always been bummed about buying a brand new RVG or $16 Conn. just to be wiping lighter fluid or goo-gone all over it the second I get it home. To anybody who has the same attitude, I would highly suggest trying this out as it leaves the CD and it's contents in mint shape and doesn't leave a lingering petroleum smell :g . Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox now. :crazy:
