Goo Gone

chicago111

Ok I searched for the thread that was posted about a week ago regarding wax removal and Goo Gone but I think it got deleted. In fact I think all post having to do with wax removal are gone.
Anyhow, in that thread someone mentioned an odor associated with removers. I tried Goo Gone (which was recommended in the thread) and it seems to work only it leaves a very strong citrus odor. Update---After about 1 week the citrus odor is all but gone. Only the slightest hint of orange remains. I imagine if left another week it would be gone altogether. So, give it a shot but be aware that the card will smell for awhile.

end dust removes wax on the front of cards. or a courser brand of paper towel.wax stains on the back are hard to remove. a few years back mr. mint rosen had a product he sold for removing wax stains...anybody else remember this? also i used goo gone on a psa holder to remove a price sticker and it was not good. i would not recommend this stuff.

On the Goo Gone, it is an oil, so I assume you used it on the front of the card? If you were to do that on the back of the card, wouldn't it leave an oil stain in place of the wax?

I would recommend going to an art supply store and tell the guy what your needs are - they will probably have something to remove wax without the smell.

In SCD, Mr. Mint was selling a 'solvent' of some sort to 'clean' cards - as I had stated before, if detected, PSA will reject the card.

stone yup your right. I was just updating the smell question.

We've always used a pair of panty hose to get wax off the front of cards
Wax on the back is next to impossible and goo gone is no good as it stains the cards - although it is great for getting sticker residue off lucites and cases

Go to Michael's and get some gun rubber remover, it contains heptane. I recently turned a 7st into an 8 and an 8 st into an 8. It evaporates in minutes and leaves no residue.
