Remove Stickers From Cardboard

[IFA]

Hi,

I would like to remove some stickers from a cardboard box that I have, without scratching or hurting the cardboard....any ideas ???

I thought of trying to "heat" the stickers with a heardryer !!! What do you think of it ?

Many thanks for any help.

do a test and use lighterfluid, the liquid you pour into a zippo ?
Its a petrol cleaner, so evaporates nicely, but would also soften the sticky glue on the back of the sticker.
Just be careful first !

Thanks CC.
So you tell me to kinda "polish" the surface of the sticker with this fluid, which will pass through the sticker and will "disintegrate" the glue or trying to remove the sticker a little bit and spraying some fluid under it ?

Thanks

Your mileage will vary and it might leave some residue but a hair dryer or heat gun can be used... If using a heat gun make sure you don't go overboard because it can and will burn the cardboard or discolor any ink...

lightly under.
It depends too on the type of cardboard...........;-(

If you use a liquid, make sure it doesn't react with the ink on the sticker or there will be a big mess.

I vote for hair dryer... I did this once from a cardboard box, I heated the sticker and used an exacto knife to slowly peel the sticker off... Good Luck

I've had good results with a giant ball of warm blu-tak.
