Thanks for the tips mate, it seemly simple to remove a bottle label for now.

If you are "Karen," every google hit I got included posts by Karen asking the same question... I see how to pay for a copy of the panel, but nothing for free. EDIT: Here's the manual for free. GOTO page 7. The Model, serial, etc number are on the nameplate found "under the front grille." Here is a link that might be useful: Free Manual This post was edited by saltidawg on Mon, Aug 25, 14 at 20:32

Hey folks, I've been trying for a long time to find somthing that will get completely rid of "devil's spit" AKA "sticky4ever" AKA "modern, intentionally undefeatable label glue". I hated having a nice item with the label removed, but not being able to pick it up without having to pry it loos from my hand in order to set it back down. I'd tried several of the items/methods listed above and several not listed, and none of the ones I'd tried worked. Even steel wool and soap leave a thin glue residue behind. I was going to try Goo Gone, lighter fluid, WD-40, Ets, then somewone mentioned Pledge furnature polish. I didn't have any of the others but thought there might be some Pledge. No luck, but way in the back of a shelf loaded with odds and ends I found a bottle of, Old English Red Oil Furnature Polish. The bottle was half full and looked like a design from the earley 1950's. Anyway, what the heck, I tried it, it worked. With some rubing it removed every trace of glue from the fancy can I'd been trying everything else on without success. When finished, you couldn't tell there'd ever been anything sticky on the unmirred surface. So it looks like at least some furnature polishes do the trick. Of corse, there may be more than one kind of "Sticky4Ever" used under the labels.

I would just highlight and copy the text of your above post that you see here on the forum, go over to the Antique forum, start a new thread, and paste exactly what you copied above... should work fine!
