Glue on Slab
 
If any one has bought a Slabbed card with a stick-on price sticker
on the front,please let me know how to remove the remaining glue from
card.I pealed off the sticker,but glue under,won't come off easily.
What can I use that won't damage case? I tried alcohol,and windex.
Thanks,
Ben

Lighter fluid.

WD40 works great too...

Sandpaper :D

No, I use WD40.

Peanut butter works great ... I hear some people like to lick the slabs clean afterward, but that always seemed a little extreme to me. :)

For PSA slabs try Goo Gone
Do not use this on SGC slabs as they are a thinner plastic and it will leave a smear on the slab

I've used Goo Gone on SGC slabs to remove the sticker residue, and then followed that up with Windex... and never had an issue with smears.

A little bit of WD-40 on a tissue takes it right off. Then wipe it clean with a dry tissue.

Works great!

I use it all the time.

Slab-Renew
 
If you do happen to scratch it a bit, pick up a bottle of Slab-Renew. I don't recall where I even bought it, but it calls itself a "Slab scratch remover and rejuvenator" for coin and card slabs. One bottle goes a long ways.

Goo-gone
 
Also, meant to say that I would use Goo-Gone as well, but for wiping it off, use a very soft cloth such as a lens cleaning cloth or my llittle trick - those little show mitt cloths they give away in hotels. Very soft and scratch-free.

Blow torch.

I would cover the glue with a sticker...oh wait... :)

WD40 is what you need to use....lighter fluid is too strong...would ruin the plastic. If you MUST use goo-gone, use the water based formula!!!! Trust me....I have damaged quite a few slabs cleaning them wrong...

Goo Gone has worked for me too.

I use whiskey, drink enough of it and you won't notice the glue!:D

Along the same lines, I use electricity. Put the slab in the appropriate vault, replace the lid, turn out the lights as you leave the room and voila.....the glue residue has vanished. :D
