i've been soaking a wet sponge to remove the cigar stickers on the boxes, but it still leave a sticky surface on the box. anyone care to share their methods?

As I don't have much hair left and have no personal need for a hair dryer my beloved allows me to use hers
I use windex and a metal ruler, GOd bless. :)
I found the easiest method for me was to leave the box in the sun for a few minutes. The heat softens the label and it peels off quite easily. Of course it leaves a film of adhesive behind.
I just discovered that this product called "Natures Ultimate' cleans the glue off without staining or affecting the ink and paper at all. The glue literally wipes of the box.
Says you can't drink it either, hhmmpphh
I have a Squier Strat that had Stickers all over the body, stuck fast for over 10 years. I used Ambersil Label Remover Spray. Took my time soaking it with the stuff and used an old credit card as a scraper. Guitar is now 20 years old and looks better than ever. It didn't effect the black Polyurethane paint at all but it did yellow the white scratchplate, which looks better to me anyway!
The stuff is cheap , under £5 and l would make sure the place is well ventilated because I thought I had ,but felt stoned for over an hour later. It is also mega flammable, so no smoking !
Hair dryer to soften up the label.
Remove the label
Wipe the leftover goo with a paper towel with a little bit of WD-40 on it.
Nothing left but a tan line.
I found wonderful box at a used merchandise store. The box initially contained an assortment of teas. The back had a large, stubborn label [about 5x6] with a bunch of marketing hype on it. After trying a couple other methods, I ended up getting out the propane torch and carefully heating up the label. The heat softened the glue and I was able to remove the sticker using a putty knife without burning my house down. Or damaging the box.
