Darn! This is going to be a more expensive project than I imagined. I gotta find a wife ASAP so I can use her blow dryer!!!! LoL. :-)

Seriously though I appreciate your help. I dont have a blow dryer - but Im now wondering if I took a clothes iron with an folded old cloth between it and the label if it would have the same results...

I'll give it a go. Thanks again. I appreciate your help. I'll be taking my time with this GBG build - if I get in a rush on unfamiliar projects I always ruin it.

Try peeling it of slowing with your finger nails, it will leave the glue, but peanut butter should remove the glue no problem with out harming the finish.

I use this stuff on sticky labels.

Label Remover

Basically it is lemon oil, so you could also use lemon oil/ fretboard oil.

Dave the Lighter Fluid is very gentile and wont affect the paint in my experience but test it on a small area first .Lighter Fluid is most usful after the paper part of the label is removed and you just trying to get that sticky glue left behind
