What is the best way to remove stick on labels??

I've been informed that stick on labels are the cause of many of my freezing problems. Does anyone know the best way ( if any ) to remove the labels thus saving the disk without getting the sticky glue all over the disk, what a mess. Thanks in advance.

 

Saturate label with warm water and mild soap.

 

Thank you for the information. I did that, however, maybe I didn't wait long enough before I tried to remove the label. I"ll wait longer the next time. Thanks again.

 

try a hair dryer but be careful not to melt,warp,twist,bend or otherwise disfigure the disc.

 

Travalon, great tip using a hair dryer and keeping the heat on the label as I peel works perfectly, no sticky paste to deal with and this tip will same me a lot of time and money because I can now save my DVDs instead of recopying them. Thanks

 

glad it worked for you

 

Why don't you just backup the disc on another

that doesn't have a label on it ?

 

I know it sounds crazy, but peanut butter works great. Rub it on, let it sit for a bit, then rub off, glue is gone.

 

windex or any glass cleaner will break up the "glue" and a delicate touch w/ a little patience will remove the sticker!

I know this will work but if you opt 4 the peanut butter idea tell us how it works!

 

Thanks all, I used to recopy the disk on a new DVD without a label, however, the hair dryer idea works so well that not only does the label come off the DVD I can still reuse the label on the jewel case or a paper envelope and still have that professional look and I don't have to waste a DVD. Peanut butter ( smooth or crunchy? ) just kidding I'm sure it will work, though, I'm satisfied with the hair dryer. Maybe I'll have a need in the future to use the peanut butter idea and if so I'll let the forum know how it worked. Thanks again.
