Remove stubborn glue/labels from bottle

[BIGJIM72]

Finally sussed a method for getting off the really stubborn glue from wine bottles (after the paper label has been removed)

Good soak in hot soapy water,then cordless drill with wire brush attachment. (Obviously not too fast & with only minimal pressure & make sure bottle is gripped firmly & cushioned).Goggles may be advisable.

I just use one of those really aggressive stainless steel scourers...

These things: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pack-Heavy-Stai ... ds=scourer

Soak the label (really hot and really soapy), attack it with a butter knife if it doesn't peel then a quick scrub with one of those bad boys and I'm done.

Vegetable oil.

WD40 does it for me

For the really tough ones I splashed out and went for "sticky stuff remover". I got mine from Lakeland but I am sure Aldi sold it a while ago. Got a tip, probably from this forum to fill the bottle with boiling water which weakens the glue and enables you to pull the label off, then I apply sticky stuff remover with a cloth then rub vigorously with a scourer, it doesn't take too long.

I bought 'Sticky Stuff Remover' too, brilliant stuff, highly recommended and not too expensive, I got 2 bottles to save on the P&P
I soak my bottles in hot soapy water first, most come off like this but then use the sticky stuff remover to remove the stubborn glue

PVC primer works great. Get the clear primer, the purple stuff stains everything it touches.

+1 for WD40 cheap and easy but doesn't get you as high as sticky stuff remover!!

Apparently equal parts coconut oil and baking soda does the trick!

Nail varnish remover for me. Not mine btw!

Over night soak to get labels off then it's WD40 and a bench grinder with polishing mop attachment makes light work of the residue :)
