    Removing Adhesive From Plastic Bottles
    I am trying to re-use plastic bottles, but the label adhesive remains after I try to soak it and remove the label. I have tried hot water, butter, & peanut butter soaks. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Don

    Sometimes it depends on the type of adhesive. Some are very easily removed with a hair drier.

    A hair drier or hot boiling water are the two techniques I used depending on the adhesive type.
