Lapua Brass Box Label Removal - Is there an easy way?

[MarkTrew]

Title says it all, has anyone found an easy method to remove the label off the blue brass boxes?

Thanks,
Mark

Goof Off or Goo Gone should do it.

I used a solvent once, but don't remember if it was Acetone or MEK.

Wrong, you can't get the goo be gone under the label. It is useful to get the glue off.

Warm the box, hairdryer, or hot water.

Paste something over it - it's damned near irremovable.

MEK will do the job. Follow with water and a bit of soap to remove the residue.

Anyone ever try one of those spray bottle wallpaper removal products?

Warm the box, hairdryer, or hot water.

Hair dryer would be my method then removing remaining glue with Hoppes Bore Solvent left to soak for a while.

aren't there other boxes with less hassle that might meet the need you have?

I love my label free Blue Boxes, I have lots of them $$$.
I use Goo Gone, put the box on a few sheets of paper towel, squirt in on the label, no rubbing or scraping, just soak it well and let it sit over night, next day it will pull right off. Doing some now as we speak. Done dozens of boxes this way.
