Goo Gone - the stuff won't harm the surface and does a fantastic job of removing adhesives and other sticky substances. Once all the adhesive is removed, use a small damp cloth to remove any of the remaining Goo Gone residue and your screen should be good as new.Is there any safe adhesive removers for the screen of a touch-screen camera?
You could try some vegetable oil on a Q-tip. Very small amount. Let it sit then wipe it.

Is there any safe adhesive removers for the screen of a touch-screen camera?
'Oops!' brand cleaner has never damaged my iPod or Nintendo DS screen, just put a small amount on a paper towel and rub gently.
Test it first, though, in a corner, but you should be okay.

Adhesive remover for closed envelopes?
My sister is getting a wee-bit freaked out over the fact that there's a date mistake on her wedding invitations. She's already sealed like 100 of them and wants to keep the engraved envelopes (which are pretty expensive apparently).
Is there a solvent or other thing out there made to remove envelope adhesives in a manner that keeps them a) intact and b) reusable.
Million thanks in advanceAdhesive remover for closed envelopes?
I did a similar thing by addressing the un-adhesive ';inside envelope'; of the invitation and not having enough outside envelops to re-address them. If you can get the envelope open, I used a glue stick and ran it along the flap to restick it. Worked even better than using the lickable adhesive.
I came across this method just now: I have never tried it -- you may want to practice on an envelope first. Make sure the ink won't melt off, also!!
';Take a kettle, or a small pot and boil water till it starts steaming to its maximum. Take the envelope, and flap/adhesive side down, place it over the steam for a couple of seconds (15-30). Be very gentle, as the paper will be moist and delicate. Check if the adhesive is melting; if it has melted, then you must be quick to pry it open gently with your fingers or a hot knife, steamed in the same way (try not to use a cold knife, as it would cool the adhesive back again). Once pryed open, gently slip the contents out and view/edit/whatever. Wait for the envelope to cool/dry before slipping them back in: If the envelope's paper/or contents become wrinkly after drying, use an iron on LOW to smooth back out again, omitting the adhesive and being careful not to burn anything. Once back in shape and dry, slip the contents in and re-lick (or, if you fear that someone will test the saliva DNA from the envelope) use a small dab of glue to secure once more.';Adhesive remover for closed envelopes?
I can't believe that this question is being asked.
The answer is............STEAM!!!
Water.
The old-fashioned was was to ';steam'; them open, but invariably it leaves the envelop wrinkled - though you might be able to iron them flat with a not-too-hot flat iron.
You can also lightly sponge the paper right over the glue strip, and after a minute or two, the water soaks through and softens the glue. Try the whole process, including ironing the wrinkles out if they don't come out on their own. Also, if you do it on an extra invitation, you can then open it afterwards and verify that it hasn't messed up the invitation - like melted some fancy ink and stuck the pages together, etc.
This is, of course, assuming the envelopes are the old ';lick'; type with water-soluble glue. All bets are off if it's the self-stick pressure-sensitive adhesive.
stick it in the microwave. I forget how long, maybe a few seconds to half a minute I would guess. I've done it and it does work with a minimum of ';wrinkling';.
Poor thing.

How to get tile adhesive off the bottom of my tub... nail polish remover is NOT working. ?
if your tub finish is porcelain, you can use a putty knife to scrape or chip it off. if you scratch the tub finish, get a pumice stone and clear the scratches off by wet rubbing with stone and rinsing clean. may have to find pumice stone at hardware or actual plumbing supply. works on any porcelain ( toilets, sinks, tubs, etc.)How to get tile adhesive off the bottom of my tub... nail polish remover is NOT working. ?
If it is a cast iron tub, you could try nail polish remover or a liquid paint stripper, you could also try a heat gun. If it is a steel or fiberglass tub you can try to use a putty knife, but I suspect that you will damage the tub surfaces. Anything you do should be tested in a small area to see if it works and how much damage is causesHow to get tile adhesive off the bottom of my tub... nail polish remover is NOT working. ?
If it's sticky... simple vegetable oil, or even something oily like peanut butter or mayonnaise will do the trick without damaging your tub.
If it's dried, you may have to gently chip it off, without damaging the tub.
Goof off is great stuff. Lighter fluid works well for adhesive also.
Get some paint thinner, it'll work wonders! ;) Or, if you can't get ahold of that, try goo gone.
try lacquer thinner,just make sure the room is well vented

Any type of veggie oil will remove pretty much anything sticky and the oil is easily removed with dish soap.
It might be worth giving ';Sticky Stuff Remover'; a try from Kleen Easy.
Try WD 40 spray.

good old fashion rubbing alcohol and a Q TIP
Goo-Gone, I use it all the time on dust jackets of books that I sell on eBay. Often times stores have put sticky labels or tape on the dust jacket which is glossy like a magazine and I have to remove them before selling. The trick is don't leave it on a long time apply (spray) and wipe off quickly.phone

Can you use nail polish remover to take the band-aid adhesive off of someone's skin?
The *nurse* at my (5-year-old) son's pediatrician's office told me to use nail polish remover to get the sticky leftover adhesive from a band-aid off of my son's skin. This does not sound safe or healthy to me. Could some healthcare professionals confirm for me if this is right or not? Actually I would appreciate anyone's imput. I've never heard of that before. Thank you for your help!!!Can you use nail polish remover to take the band-aid adhesive off of someone's skin?
it probably wouldn't hurt, i mean you get it on your hands and fingers, and it would probably work.... use baby oil, or an oily lotion on a cotton ball... i work in the medical field and that's what I always recommend and patients tell me it works fine, and it's gentle on their skin.Can you use nail polish remover to take the band-aid adhesive off of someone's skin?
It may work, my family has always used baby oil and a q-tip, then you wash the oil off with soap and water.
Try using alcohol - that is what I do .
Soap gets almost everything off, in my experience. To be honest, if you just ignore the leftover adhesive then it will disappear in no time. It's a bit like when people write on their hands to remember things... the messages disappear after a day or two of normal washing, without special attention.
I have always used nail polish remover for myself and my children. If it concerns you, be sure to wash the area with soap afterwards.......
Yes, its accurate. You can use nail polish remover or rubbing alcohal. It doesnt hurt unless you get it in his cut.
