Case stickers - Glue mess solution?

Aleksandrs · 15 Jan 2010 at 21:16

So in excitement I put my stickers that came with the Motherboard and Processor on my case, and now I have decided I do not like them being there...

I have gotten rid of all but the Intel sticker, which upon peeling of said sticker has left some of the glue stuck on my case. Is there any obvious solution to get rid of the stickiness or is it really just a case of fairy liquid, a cloth and some muscle?

I am asking this (what may be obvious) question before I find myself scratching it to buggery or something, thanks.

Ah good call, I'll give her a try! Thanks.

Edit: I just thought about it being corrosive to some plastics? As this is on the plastic part at the front of my case.

Thanks for the help Tonk, but I did feel a bit odd using something so potent

Solution:
I used a bit of WD40 and it did the job effortlessly and perfectly. Definitely recommend this way to get rid of sticky messes and residue left from glue.

Cheers.

another way is using a pencil eraser

Some aftershaves work.

Bad ones certainly do, I've used this trick to get pen off a desk at work!

I am so excited with my discovery I have been de-stickering everything and finally rid myself of the Windows Vista sticker on my laptop. Good results all round

you can get proper glue remover too, however if you leave it on too long it tends to melt everything in sight
