subject: Removing labels

Hi Paul Rogers, hope you are having a nice day

PR>I want to remove the labels on some floppy disks.  Most already have
PR>two--an original permanent one, then another one that might be more or
PR>less peelable.  I can imagine some different ways to facilitate the
PR>process: warming the adhesive with a hair dryer, or using an organic
PR>solvent--maybe paint/lacquer thinner or even nail polish remover, or
PR>both.  I don't know what would work best.
PR>Anybody got any easy techniques?

 I use a small, real sharp, knife like an x-acto knife to get
an edge up and then use a little bit of 93% isopropal alcohol
to dissolve the glue. As the alcohol loosens it up I just keep
peeling it back slowly until it comes off.

 If you can't find the good stuff then 70% or even 50% alcohol
will work but just slower since it's got more water in it.
