How to Remove Labels with a Plastic Film
Some labels have a plastic coating that makes them more resistant to traditional removal methods. Here’s how to tackle these stubborn labels:
Peel Off the Top Layer
- Sometimes, you can peel off the plastic film, leaving just the sticky backing behind.
- Once the film is removed, apply Magic Goo Remover to dissolve the remaining glue.
Score the Remainder of the Surface
- Use a craft knife or pin to lightly score the plastic coating in a crisscross pattern.
- This helps Magic Goo Remover penetrate the adhesive underneath.
Apply Heat
- Some very hard glues may be softened using a hairdryer or heat gun (on a low setting).
- Once warm, peel the label while slowly applying heat.
- Follow up with Magic Goo Remover to remove any leftover residue.
Use a Scraper
- After applying Magic Goo Remover, let it sit for a minute.
- If needed, gently lift the label with a plastic scraper without scratching the surface.
