is there anyway to remove sticker residue on a comic?

[rckstr1253]

Is there a way to remove sticker residue off a comic? I bought a few Campbell comics at Half Price books for a quarter but they had the stupid clearance sticker on the cover. I carefully removed the sticker but there is a stick residue remaining.

I've seen on youtube using a hair dryer works

I believe some boardies have had luck with a product called "Naptha M". YMMV.

Fire? Of course there would be a hole and charred paper, but no more residue !

what ever you do do NOT use goo gone residue will be gone as well as color on the cover beneath (know from experience sadly)!

You might do well to actually use another price tag that still has plenty of adhesive on it. It tends to attach to adhesive & pull that back off without damaging the book. I'm guessing it's because the like-adhesives from price stickers like to bond to itself more than to another substance, like the book itself.

 

At least that's been my experience. I'm no chemist, so I'm just guessing why it's worked for me in the past.

O/W known as Ronson Lighter Fluid.

I've used it successfully more often than not to remove Scotch Tape from spines. I'll squirt some around the edges, let it sit for a few minutes, then very gently use a razor to slide underneath the tape, squirt some more fluid in, wait, and venture further in with the blade, until the tape is removed.

 

The best thing is, lighter fluid leaves no trace of itself after it dries; no stains. Doesn't work for removal all the time, but often enough.

I use Scotty Peelers and Goo Gone on everything else but comics, I don't buy comics with price stickers on them
