Kind of o.t but useful...

David Sparks

>I bought some plastic bins for the pegboard I recently hung in my shop. The bins all had labels on them that were stuck on tight. It seems that because plastic is so slick the manufacturers have to use very sticky glue to get the labels to stay stuck. I tried soaking the labels in hot, soapy water and tried WD40 but had no luck removing them. Someone on Google recommended coating the labels with cooking oil and letting them sit overnight. I coated the labels, and the next day they came right off. There was a little residual adhesive left on a couple of the bins. I put some more cooking oil on and rubbed the rest of the adhesive off. I thought you guys might like to know this.
