WD-40 Nugget of wisdom
In an absolutel flurry of new posts (2 in 1 day – whoa!) I wanted to drop in a nugget of wisdom.
I have seen a lot of instances where people are trying to remove stickers and sticker residue for a variety of reasons and I am always telling them that they need to use WD-40. Seriously, this is the best stuff to use for that. For some reason people default to using alcohol and then the have to scrub and scrub.
The reason I am mantioning this is I have this roku remote where the battery door tab has broken off and, like any professional home fixer-upper, I just stuck it down with a piece of tape. Well, today the tape came off and what was left was a thick icky sticky residue. I just grabbed my WD-40 can, sprayed the residue and wiped it off with 2 swipes of a paper towel and that was that – new piece of tape on and the remote was fixed again (as much as I am going to, anyhow).
So, the moral of the story is, don’t scrub your stickers and sticky residue for half an hour with alcohol, just a quick spray and wipe with WD-40, which you should have in your home arsenal anyhow.
