Hi, i am new here so forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place. I am looking for ways to remove a sticker that was placed over the original sticker art on some of my sega cartridges, many years ago, without damaging the original game label on the cartridge. I was going to try goo gone but was worried that it would cause the original sticker to come off as well. If anyone has any suggestions or things that you've tried successfully without damaging the original sticker I would be greatful. |

In the past i have taken the cart apart then used a heat lamp to remove the sticker a little bit at a time very carfully not to damage the lable underneath.Just be carefull not to heat it up to much then lightly remove any sticker residue with Q-tip and rubbing alcohol then polish with alittle furniture polish on a rag. |

Don't use Goo Gone for such a delicate area. Use a product called Un-Du. It works wonders for projects like this. Once you apply it to the affected area, use the scraper that comes with the bottle. This should get rid of the store sticker, but keep the game label intact. |

I've used hot water and rubbing alcohol with nothing but exceptional results. Granted, a steady hand and oodles of patience are a heavy requirement; but nonetheless, the various cartridges I acquired that had one or two stickers look pristine now. |

I use and Arts n' Craft store bottle of Sticky Stuff Remover - Used it this week as My Last of Us 2 Steelbook Edition came with a Cardboard Sleeve which they put a stupid sticker over it. It left a lot of residue after peeling off too but a dab of this stuff and it worked a treat! |
