No harm no foul. As I recall; Hot water, oxy clean, a razor blade, a green scotch pad, and some elbow grease will get em right off..... :D

Never heard of the soap trip but sounds promising. I may give that a try sometime. Once I started using gelatin, I’ve never looked back, but it couldn’t hurt to have multiple weapons in the arsenal.
It's an old trick for making vinyl signs repositionable. Use dish soap, watered down a bit and lather it on the surface before applying the sticker/vinyl. When it dries, it gets into the adhesive making it less permanent, but sticky enough to remove and restick (and soaking re-soapys the soap) My labels are printed on a laser printer, so they'll be waterfast/the ink shouldn't run.

Next time I'll try that, and let you know how I get on.
 
Here is my simple attempt.

Not finished yet, but it's the first label I've created completely from scratch (aside from the Phillies and Jetro logos). Super proud of how it's turning out so far. It's my tribute to my favorite tailgating lot as I get prepared for Spring Training and baseball season in general. Started out as a pencil drawing, then I used a wet-erase marker on a transparency sheet to get the solid black lines.

They sure look great on the can...
 
I like #3 the best, wait, #2, wait, crap, all look cool. I like the simple style of them. How did you achieve the "break out's" or "blow out's", is it a plug in or something like that?. I guess I should ask what software you use first. Again, nice simple design.
