How do you get sticky foam protection stickers off computer speakers?

Posted on November 28, 2009 by admin

I went to a garage sale and bought a set of computer speakers strapped together for 2$. When I got home and took off the rubber band, I found out that they had once put on protection stickers made out of foam/paper rubber(that you can rip). Most of it was ripped of but it left some of it. To be exact, if you rip it by hand, it comes off but only half of the layer. It looks like a cat had a great time scratching off the top layer! Wetting it with rubbing alcohol and then scratching with my nail takes too long! I need it to be removed because it looks awfully bad! Please help me! I’m not going to use it until I give up finding ways!

Goo-Gone. You can get it at target.

    Try WD40 or any kind of oil to soften the glue. Also give white vinegar a try after the oil thing.Let it set a while to give the WD40 time to penetrate the glue all the way down.

    i’ve given this answer several times before but no one seems to take this advice. use a hair dryer a little at a time to heat that sticky foam & glue, then gently try scrapping it off
    with a scrapper of some kind. GENTLY,
    the heat actually melts the glue. be careful not to use to much heat at one time. experement, a little heat a little soft scrapping. good luck.
