Removing yeast labels

[firecrafter695]

Oe of the things I've seen here is using yeast vials filled with grain for tap handles. I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the adhesive that was used to stick the label onto the vial. I've tried heat, oops solvent, and rubbing alcohol. Does anyone have any tips? I'd like to not scratch the plastic if it can be avoided, but the sticky has got to go.

If it matters, these are wyeast vials...

Thanks!

Oxiclean didnt work for me. Ive heard goo gone will do the trick.

I havent tried it, but i bet gas will work.

Someone else suggested acetone to me. I don't know how that will react with the plastic though.

I completely forgot about goo gone (doh!)
