How do I remove glue from plastic?

[Ave Maria]

Hi everyone. I have some things that I am wanting to take the glue from stickers off of them. How do I do this? Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum. I honestly didn't know where to post this at.

Is there anything in particular I should soak it in? I tried dabbing rubbing alcohol on it but that didn't seem to help. Anyway, the thing I am trying to get the sticky stuff off of is a couple of lighters so I don't know if soaking them would be a good idea or not. I don't want to ruin my lighters.

I dont know if it would ruin them. Just try soap and water.

Try finger nail polish remover...but be careful since it's flammable. You might want to wipe the area with soap and water after you clean it.

you won't believe this but peanut butter rubbed into the sticky stuff takes it off completely Honest I'm not kidding!

Many Blessings

Polish remover works... I use lighter fluid myself.

Yes, lighter fluid...my ex used lighter fluid on a Q-tip to take all the sticky stuff from price tags off his Star Wars toys. It worked pretty well and didn't do much damage since he prized that collection more than anything else on earth. But do be careful with the flammable things.
