WD-40 is fab for sticky scissors, will have to try the gel!

Hi this will be my first message but I use nail varnish remover on cotton wool to wipe my sticky scissors, I also use it when I want to remove a price tag from
a box or something when it dosen't come off properly. I hope this helps.

I use neat washing up liquid on scissors before i cut ezmount, it is like cutting through butter then.
Put a post on here somewhere. Luv Jen |

They even do little handy cans of WD40 now. Fits in the craft bag a treat. I have used the sticky dot remover on my scissors before. Dabbing at it makes the
glue go into balls and then re dab and they come off. The hand gel is a great find for removing sticky stuff as well.

 Hi, I
always use furniture polish, it's brilliant and it also removes those horrible sticky labels on boxes etc.

I mainly use XCuts non-stick scissors. God Bless whoever invented them, they are wonderful, but even they struggle a little with ez mount. Fortunately I found
some magic fluid in a stationery shop - just named 'sticky stuff remover', it comes in a 250ml bottle, for £1.25p. It's made by Banner, and is
brilliant - works on those annoying marks left by price tickets as well, in fact it works on just about everything. I keep a bottle in the craft room and one
in the kitchen. The best thing is - it has a nice, light, lemony scent, rather than a chemical odour.

Having recently been given a free sample of gel from our local pharmacy (Spain) I was able to try out your tip straight away. Wonderful. Also my husband used
it to clean our sticking "space bar" on the computer very quickly.
