Removing adhesive stickers (safety latches) - which solvent to use?

[plupervert]

I'm just trying to get some safety catches off, and the big fat adhesive pads have been torn in half, and mostly left behind. Is there anything to get rid of them, like rubbing alcohol, or will it just be a matter of wetting them and using the old elbow grease to pick them off bit by bit?

Many thanks for any ideas!

Lighter fluid

WD40

But lighter fluid better.

WD40.
Check a hidden area first though.

Brilliant! I haven't got any lighter fluid, but WD40 and nail varnish remover I have got.

Thanks so much.

Sorry about that Yoda-like syntax. Happen again it will not- oops...

Sticky Stuff Remover is good - sold by Lakeland.

Oh, dear, WD40 didn't work today, so will have to go with nail varnish remover tomorrow! If not, then a quick trip to Lakeland...

Okay, used nail varnish remover and elbow grease, which was a bit fiddly, but did the job.

Infuriatingly, I used white spirit later in the day, and am convinced that would have done the job better... But too late!

Thanks for all the advice.
