Does anyone know how to remove the glue from a price sticker, from a sheet of glass?

Question

I purchased a large(ish) picture frame the other day, but they had put a big sales sticker on the glass, and I've wasted a lot of time trying to get the glue off.

Is there anything that will dissolve the glue and leave the glass shiny clean?

Thanks!

Answer 1

spray with window cleaner and scrape with utility knife blade.

Answer 2

There is an item called GOO-Gone, but a dab on let it sit for 1 min. and peel off carefully, rinse off in hot water, let that sit for 2 mins, then peel.

Answer 3

White spirit............... or butter

Answer 4

Use a razor blade and a hot soapy dish rag it should come off easy.

Answer 5

WD -40 will get it off, so will olive oil. Lay the glass flat and rub enough of either  onto the sticker, wait awhile ( overnite if you can ) and it should come right off. You can use a glass cleaner like windex to get any residue from the oil or WD-40. You can also try Goo Gone but the two items I mentioned will be alot cheaper and work just as well.

Answer 6

WD40.  Just enough to rub with your fingertip.

Then follow-up with Windex, or other glass cleaner.

PS.  Olive oil might work as well.

Answer 7

Use either mineral spirits, lighter fluid or naptha. Don't use WD-40, you'll get more oily residue that you'll have to clean.

Rubbing alcohol is actually good for application and it dries with no residue leaving no need for any further clean up.

Answer 8

a sharp blade to scrape the glue off.

Answer 9

I used to be a picture framer and this is what we used for all sorts of goo removal, especially on the double stick tape used on the back of frames to attach the brown paper.

Take a piece of masking tape and stick it down over the sticker goo.  Rub it hard.  Then quickly pull it off.  You may need to repeat a couple of times.  Works on all sorts of surfaces without damaging them with chemicals.

Answer 10

zippo fluid, or lighter fluid works very well...

...way cheaper than goo gone or goof off.

Answer 11

WD 40 is a great glue residue remover on most surfaces,then clean with soap and water.
