Best way to remove adhesive from that horrid

[David Ayers]

So often that strip leaves gum on the CD case and turns it into a mess. I've tried white spirit which cleans it off but also fogs the CD case. Anyone got any better ideas? Talk about customer unfriendly! They don''t use these strips in Europe.

Lighter fluid, sparingly.

The best thing is WD40. Takes off the goo extremely easily and doesn't affect the jewel case in any way.

I use Goo Gone... works for the cd strips and removing gunk off of LP jackets.

Thanks Guys - good tips. I'll start with the WD 40. I've never seen Goo Gone though I can see that might do the trick!

Anyone want to dig up the "removing sticky stuff from CDs" thread from a couple months back? I have no idea what it was called.

BESTINE!!!! dagnabbit!

the WD40 and Goo Gone are too oily and will no doubt leave a residue as well as that awful petrol smell. Might even stain the booklets if they are light and get into the fibers of the paper.

Bestine was used mainly as a rubber cement thinner back in the publishing days of placing old "paste ups" when something was not able to go thru the waxing machine. You can get a small can that is similar to the kind the Tin Man used, but flat. Dribbles out just enough and wipe the residue with a tissue a couple times.

No; you've got the same muck behind your ear as I have.
