I absolutely hate the sticky stuff that removing many labels and price tags creates. Is there a good product or technique for getting rid of it?

Just plain oil rubbed into a label and left to sit will soften almost all adhesives. P-nut butter works well because it doesn't drip - it stays where you put it. But it's the oil in the p-nut butter that does the trick.
Sometimes lighter fluid will work, too.
But on something really stubborn, acetate or fingernail polish remover. You have to be very careful with it as it will eat into a lot of things you might be trying to remove the glue from though.
This is exactly the issue. Some of the things I'm working with are plastic, and I'm afraid of eating in to them.
Thanks for this - I didn't know. I've gotten to where I actually like the smell of vinegar since I use it for most of my household cleaning. To me, it's what clean smells like!Vinegar!! It'll come off in seconds and it won't ruin plastic, or most surfaces for that matter. Plus, it's cheap. The only downside is the smell. However I use it for so many things around the house that I think I'm becomming immune to it.
