Hey guys, i just need your help!
Anyone knows a good method to remove stickers from the cover of Neo boxes (i mean stickers on the plastic cover of the inserts)? I bought a couple of carts with terrible white stickers (about 4inch per side!) that are really resistant... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
It seems they're made of a strange paper/plastic combo...
I'm desperate... <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">
Please help!

yeah i know that shit they put big large eppilepsy warning sticker (and not only on neo cart on genesis cart to)
well i use a lighter on the sticker but don't stay on it long time ,i mean do it several time but not to long cause the heat will melt the plastic of the box <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
so be careful but with patience you can remove the stickers cause the glus will not worked with the heat
it's the only "trick" i know to remove that fucking stickers and the worst is when you got one on a carton box (i know got one on my cyberlip <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">)

hope you 'll manage to remove it!

You might also want to try a citrus based solvent like "goo gone". Those usually work wonders when it comes to removing stubborn adhesives.

Zippo lighter fluid. Get all the sticker off you can. (optional) Then pour a small amount of the fluid onto the sticker.

Let it sit for a few minutes, and gently "swirl" your finger aound on top of the sticker. Parts should start to come off.

Eventually you will get down to the adhesive, and the zippo fluid will take care of that.

It should be very safe for a cart box, as I use this method on my action figure cards and have never had any problems.

Brandi i really don't know when,where and who in first place put that shit but some of them must be pervert!! Let me tell you a little story
i was in paris and by chance i found a japanese golden axe 3,i was happy,the game,the manual,the insert looked mint
so i bought it
but when i decided to look the manual with more attention i saw something really horrible they put one of this fucking shit stickers on the back of the manual!!!!!!you imagine well that i never could remove that shit from the manual cause if i try something i'll damaged it!!!
i don't know why in france we have that shit stickers it's really recent because before we got like in the us the epilepsy warning on a color paper where it was write in different european languages!But now we have the exclusivity of this SHIIIIT <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">
