Anybody got a good trick to remove labels from bottles.....tried soaking them in hot water with a little dish soap, but a few of these have some serious adhesive on them
I'm buying bottles from a local winery at $2 / case. I've got 3 cases to do & they are a bear, they have a non-permeable coating. I've tried:
1.scraping with a knife then scotch brite pad with paint thinner. which does work, but time consuming.
2.Tried soaking in DIF (a wall paper remover sold at lowes, menards, home depot), it wouldn't soak through the outter coating of the label. But, may work well for labels with no "plastic" coating.
3. Also, just yesterday tried a wire brush attachment on my bench grinder. It worked, but will still need wiped with acetone / mineral spirits or similar for the glue. This may be the way I go until some other idea I find is quicker. I can have a bottle done in around a minute.
