Hey guys

How in the world do you remove the glue from the outside of a White Labs vial?
I've soaked in each, Oxyclean and Star San (each solution individually, not a mix), and still have a fair amount of reside.

Any ideas?

Goo gone. Takes the residue off in a flash, and doesn't seem to harm the plastic at all.

An overnight soak in acetone will take off anything.

It might even take some of the plastic with it!

You can return those vials to get free stuff.

ah crap. I threw out all of my labels, but if you save your labels, that's all you need to send (you don't have to send the actual vial).

They might take just the vials too (unless you have thousands of them). I bet they re-use them.

5000 vials: Chris White will come to your house, bring the yeast, and brew with you.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
