removing price tags from toys

[ctownboy]

Hello,

I usually use aim a hair dryer at the price tag and heat it up. Then, I try to remove as much of the tag as possible with my fingers. If there is paper residue left, I put some water on it and gently rub it with my finger. This will usually just leave the adhesive underneath.

Once I am down to just the adhesive or sticky residue, I put a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the adhesive and let it sit there for a few seconds. Then, I start to gently rub the area and let the adhesive come off. After that, for the adhesive that is harder to get off, I use my fingernail and gently scratch or scrape the rest off. I then use a towel to wipe away the alcohol (if there is any still there) and the loose residue.

If the sticker price is on the cardboard and you are wanting to keep the cardboard in nice condition, don't use too much water or alcohol and don't rub, scratch or scrape too much because all of this will damage the underlying cardboard.
