Removing stickers, etc from helmets

[iridenow]

So the Mrs. iridenow's helmet still has the price sticker on it. I've done as good as I can with my hands. Is a hair dryer a good tool to remove the sticker? Any other suggestions how to get it off without scratching up the helmet?

Yes, a hair dryer is the safest. Some elbow grease and a plastic scraper should work. I would avoid chemicals such as Goo Gone, etc. I've had some costly mistakes with that stuff.

WD40 or vaseline might work too

Good advice above. Use the hairdryer first and then clean the residue with WD40.

A damp sponge to soften the sticker. Then it should peel off with light scraping or fingernail.

She doesn’t want to be Minnie Purl?

had a similar problem when balancing the wheels
the stick on wheel weights when removed,leave a paper/glue residue which defies removal

the other day,i tried mineral turps on a rag....2 good attempts and the glue came right off....no scraping no scratching

You need to be a certain age to understand that one. Unfortunately many of us around here qualify.

I remember The Grand O'le Opery.

Yep. I'm in that age group. If the price tag was flapping around on a piece of plastic it wouldn't be so difficult to remove.

Yup! Saw her on Saturday evening on RFD TV.

A piece of history for you...it is all a well done act. She was actually very sophisticated and lived in a big mansion in Nashville. Had lots of money. I guess we could say, she laughed all the way to the bank.

I actually think of her everytime we go for a ride on Hwy 43. We go by a place called Possum Trot. Minnie said she came from Grinder's Switch. Similar type of country name for a place. Found in the hills and hollers in the country.

Peanut butter. My wife uses it all the time on this sort of thing. Just smear it on for 24 hours and the oil dissolves the glue
