You don't need a razor blade with the hair dryer trick! Just get the edge curled up ever so slightly and work it slowly if you want to save and re-use them. Takes time but well worth it...
OK cool, I will try that first. Thanks again.

Well, I tried. Hair drier worked like magic on the outside labels and the trim part of the inside one. The main inside one was a different story (San Cristobel, with the flying parrot). Heat applied for 1/2 hr but it would not budge. Tried steam, bad idea! Then I soaked the whole label in goo-gone, let it sit for a few hours, still would not lift at all. I don't know what they glued that puppy in with, but it was the good stuff! I finally just pulled a big tear through the middle so I could get it off my to do list!! I have a Gloria Cubana that seems to be the same type of inside label, I may just flip the top inside out on that one, except it is curved at the edges. Hey, I'm not complaining, just updatin'.
