Comment on YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers

  I’ve tested it on nearly everything over the years. It works on everything so far. I didn’t have any a bit ago and used alcohol instead, and it ruined the rubber surface. That’s why I posted this. I should have been less impatient and waited till I had some. Posted so others can learn before they ruin something like I just did.

    The cooking oil?

      I’m sorry, I answered your question from my inbox instead of in context in this thread, so I lost context.

      I haven’t tried cooking oil, just WD-40. I’ll try cooking oil as you suggested.

        Update: I forgot about it and left it overnight shitting in the vegetable oil in a frying pan. I went to clean it up this afternoon, and couldn’t find the glue. It dissolved into the oil, so water/soap to get the vegetable oil off… and it’s clean. (Won’t be reusing that oil)

        I have some vegetable oil I fried chicken in yo make chicken parmesan and since I was lazy the marinara came in a glass bottle that I peeled the label off to keep/reuse. The glue survived the dishwasher yesterday, so I’ll go lay that side in the used vegetable oil and report back in a few hours when I try to get it off.
