Who knows the best way to remove the glue left after peeling label off wine bottle label so i can reuse . thx
 
I use WD40,spray on, let it soak a minute and it comes right off. Then just wash good with soap to get WD40 off.
 
De-solv-it works good and is mild. Goof off is quicker but will ruin clothing etc.:wy
 
I always recycle store bought wine bottles. In 80% cases kerosene does it best. Acetone/rubbing alcohol works well on some glues and excellent for removing printed ink, as in "Best Before" marks. If neither works, wire brush and soapy water most certainly will.
 
Guess I do it the hard way. Soak in hot water for 10 minutes, then take a razor blade to them. Scrub what little is left on.

Yes - alot are like that - and others you literally fight to get the adhesive off. I know which bottles I do not want because of the adhesive that they use.

19 Crimes.. avoid like the plague.

I find that using my heat gun works really good. Get the glass nice and hot, and the labels come off with very little residue. What little there is left I use soap and hot water with a brillo (after bottle cools).

I suppose you could put a whole bunch in the oven, say 250 for 20 minutes... but you would want a oven mit or towel to hold the neck while you peel off the labels. I havent tried this yet, but I suspect it would work pretty slick and save some time over holding a heat gun to them 1 by 1.

I still use my goo gone sometimes for those tough ones...

This is exactly what I do. Load a batch, wait 20 minutes at about 200F, then take one out, put another in its place, peel label on the first, and repeat a few dozen times.
 
For stubborn glue i use odorless mineral spirits. You can pick up a gal can at home depot for a few bucks and it enough to last a lifetime.
 
Kitchen cabinet glue remover.

Guys, the easiest way to remove the glue is to use oil, any kind will work, but I use what ever is in the pantry. For tough/thick glue just smear some on and let it sit for a few seconds, then wipe with paper towel. It really does not take much, and you will be amazed how easy it is. Then just wash with soap and water.:h
