Re: REMOVING STICKINESS FROM MERCURY GLASS?

I've had luck putting a piece of scotch tape over the label, rubbing it and then pulling it off.

@mousiegirl, did you get the sticky residue off your MG piece? I wonder why they would not put the labels on the bottom. I've never used Goo Gone on MG but on other types of material it works great. I know that anything damp will remove paint from the inside of Valerie's MG lamp shades from experience. lol I think they seal the paint on the outside of spheres because you can use the Windex wipes on them. Hope you had good luck cleaning your item.

I havn't tried yet, lucymo, been very busy here, but I will soon, and I think I will try the oil method as it worked in a frying pan I bought recently. I don't understand why stickers are all over some pieces. I will post after I try.
