This sounds weird but it works. You know that annoying sticker that tells you smoking kills, ok so you heat it with a hair dryer and peel it off of your paper covered box. This works fine but then you sand something and the fine dust collects on the sticky residue. What do you do? Go make a sandwich and forget about it? No, but go get the bread and start rubbing. Yes weird but it works. The bread cuts the glue and leaves a clean slightly shiny surface, and does not ruin the paper label. I just did this on Vega Fina box and it worked perfectly. Now go rub your guitars with some bread.

Funny stuff guys, but seriously, cheap white bread works best, ball it up like you were going fishing with dough balls, then rub rub rub till it falls apart and roll another ball, repeat.
Wow what a idea,not that I want to know how you thought this up, I have turned a few nice boxes into not nice boxes trying to get that label off. Alcohol takes the paint off the paper with the glue. If I eat the bread after will it help me to sing the blues, might just stick to my ribs, Bleck!, Kids don't try this at home since we fell we are professionals here.

This reminds me of the Billy Connolly joke:
Who discovered we could get milk from cows, and what did he think he was doing at the time?
NICE! Post this on Secrets of the CBG Underground.
