Remove star wars stickers

[Pomse2001]

Hi guys have any of you tried to use this lighter fluid as the guy use in this video to remove star wars stickers on vehicles ? and does it work and does it not damage the stickers or the colours on the stickers ?

I have never thought much about my stickers on my vehicles but now I would love to have complete vehicles where no stickers are missing. I started with my CAP-2 vehicles and I have a few CAP-2 spare vehicles that I could remove stickers from and place them on the vehicles in my collection to make the complete or most of them I still miss 4 stickers before they are all complete. The CAP-2 stickers was easy to remove and glue back on a CAP-2 vehicle.

Then I began to check my MTV-7 vehicles and some of them also miss stickers. But this stickers are not easy to remove. I guess they maybe used diffrent glue on this stickers or maybe it is the size on them that make them harder to remove. Then I found this video on youtube about how to remove stickers without damage them, but before I do this I just want to hear if any have tried it before ? or what you think about it ?

I have used lighter fluid on all kinds of toys to remove stickers and to clean stickers that have dirt on the sticky side. The trick is to be patient and practice on random cheap household items that have stickers on them . Some stickers will be easy and others will need more lighterfluid, it's important to get a feel for how the stickers peel. Once you are comfortable with the technique you can start experimenting on your toys.

Hi Lars,
I use this, which I got off eBay.
It's quite good at what it does but as mentioned above you need to practice on getting stickers off household items and be very patient.
Something I have found is that the fluid leaks out if the tin is laid down, so if you do get this, keep the tin upright.
Good luck.
