stick on thermometer removal

Jah · Jan 28, 2008

does anyone have a good method for removing the stick on thermometers from carboys? i am wanting to replace one because it is hard to read. when i peeled it off it left the whole sticky black back on the carboy and nothing seems to work removing it. not even scraping with a knife.

Have you tried alcohol or methanol (paint thinner)?

Goof Off! or Zippo lighter fuel. Since it's on the outside of the carboy I wouldn't freak out about using a naptha or petroleum based solvent, just don't get any inside the carboy. Of course this advice is for a glass carboy only, don't use either of the above on any plastic materials!

OH yeah, WD-40 works well too.

Goo Gone or a similar citrus oil based solvent works great on the acrylic contact adhesives without damaging the substrate or your skin.
