What method do you use to remove sticky or gummy residue from labels on slabs? I use mayonnaise, gently rub with my finger. Then wash with warm soapy water.

I use other adhesive tape to remove residue or other have use Goo Gone.
Goo gone is the best and it smells great! Peace Roy

I use Goo Gone all the time. But in a pinch you can use WD40 - it works too.

I have never thought of WD-40. In my shop I definitely have it. Thanks.
I always use Goo Gone.... works great on adhesive residues. Cheers, RickO
I have Goo Gone but I don't like to deal with its oily residue. Yes, it works but it's more effort than needed.
The same stuff that polishes slabs, PlastX, makes the job of removing adhesive residue faster and easier.

He who knows he has enough is rich.
Just simply use rubbing alcohol. It all evaporates with no residue.

I use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. Works like a charm. I use a clean dry cotton ball to wipe down everything afterwards to make sure it completely clean.
Packing tape. Yep. It's got a heavy adhesive and if you cover your sticky mess with this tape, the tape will pull it right off. It may take a few attempts, tack it on pull it off, but it's good n' clean, no liquid goo or mayonnaise.
That's what I do. It works great!

I've used packing tape too, but be careful when removing goo from a hologram.
I learned the hard way that you can also remove the hologram - or some irregular fraction of it.

Peanut butter does the trick also.

Wow I have to admit I have never thought of peanut butter. However, just to check it out I will try it. Thanks.
